Kate Osamor MP
As the chair of the APPG on No Recourse to Public Funds, I was particularly keen to contribute to this debate on domestic abuse & children.
Those who as result of their immigration status have had the condition imposed on them to have no recourse to public funds are also more likely to be subject to domestic abuse and less able to escape it.
Children in those families are in an especially vulnerable position.
The reality is that for thousands of families and children in this country, if they find themselves in an abusive situation, they have no safety net to fall back on.
For many of these families, they are presented with a choice: continued abuse or possible destitution.
