NRPF is pushing migrants into poverty & failing in its own policy objectives, new analysis shows.
208,000 households covered by an NRPF condition are at risk of needing support to avoid destitution & 64,000 households are in poverty.
The impacts are especially stark in London..
ALT A quote from Alex Sutton, director of grants at trust for London, that says: It’s astonishing that over 2m people living and working in our communities, including people providing essential services, don’t have equal access to the same safety net that the rest of us can rely on when we need it most.

Last year we wrote to @educationgovuk w. 20 other orgs calling for #ChildcareForAll families, regardless of their immigration status.
We ask again - Minister for Children @david4wantage, will you meet with Praxis campaigners to hear how being excluded from support impacts them?

Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed.
Our new report reveals a shameful rise in the number of people experiencing destitution in the UK.
Here are the key findings 🧵

Let ALL families access childcare now!
Thousands of children are locked out of childcare, simply because of the fine print of their parents' visas.
We’ve launched a petition to Education Secretary @GillianKeegan demanding #ChildcareForAll- sign today! bit.ly/45aAIDK
