Migrants: Domestic Abuse
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) condition on access to domestic abuse refuges for survivors with insecure immigration status; and if she will bring forward proposals to end the application of NRPF restrictions in cases involving domestic abuse.
- Answer
-
We understand the challenges migrant victims of domestic abuse face. This is particularly true for those who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF).
The Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession provides eligible migrant victims with three-months’ leave outside the Immigration Rules, with access to public funds. This enables victims to leave an abusive relationship safely and access accommodation and support, including refuge spaces, while they take steps to regularise their immigration status.
