Support "A Right to a Voice"
In December NIACE launched a new campaign called "A Right to a Voice" that aims to overturn the decision, in 2007, to withdraw the right for asylum seekers to access ESOL (English as a Second Language) courses in the first six months in the country.
Waiting for such a long time has costly consequence on both individuals and society as it aggravates feelings of isolation, affecting mental health, well-being and inhibiting community cohesion. It also creates additional difficulty in understanding medical advice or communicating with public bodies.
The campaign now has a website which has lots more information about the issue and how you can campaign against it: A Right to Learn website.
