Description

The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) is a registered charity, founded in 1967, that campaigns with migrants for justice. It works toward immigration law and policy grounded in sound evidence, the rule of law, and respect for human rights and human dignity. The charity challenges unjust laws and discriminatory practices, influences public debate on migration, provides high-quality legal advice to vulnerable individuals and families, raises advice standards across the sector through training and capacity building, and supports progressive movements at grassroots and national levels. It also produces research-based reports and briefings on issues including the Right to Rent scheme, the Hostile Environment, and routes to regularisation for undocumented people.
