Support Barnet residents whose rights in Barnet are adversely affected by Brexit
The Home Office policy of making life as difficult as possible
for illegal immigrants could also wreck the lives of people who
have a right to live in Barnet. The government admits that people
with rights to stay in the UK have already been wrongly
deported.
In this climate, being able to afford legal advice or proceedings
to correct a wrong decision will be important for:
EU 27 citizens living in Barnet who are uncertain of their
status.
British partners and children of EU27 citizens. Families may face
obstacles if freedom of movement is curtailed and they hope to
re-unite, or relocate, post-Brexit.
Barnet employers, landlords and healthcare professionals who may
face a difficult situation, or even prosecution, if their
employees, tenants or patients lose rights they now enjoy.
Not all Barnet residents can afford solicitors. We call on Barnet
Council to take the lead in ensuring that Barnet remains a
non-hostile environment for all our residents by establishing a
charity that will:
Work with individuals, businesses, and third sector and faith
groups to raise private funds for the above.
Raise awareness of the services offered.
Liaise with community groups such as Citizens Advice Bureau, The 3
Million, Chipping Barnet for Europe, and others.
