Changes to the appointment booking system at the asylum screening unit


13 July 2011

The asylum screening unit (ASU) are piloting a new way to book appointments.

The ASU will collect more information from asylum seekers in advance of their screening appointment. This will enable the team to complete some administrative duties before applicants attends an appointment. This will reduce the time screening interviews take at the ASU and will better meet the needs of asylum seekers.

We will provide an interpreter, and we will carry the cost of the call.

Legal representatives calling on behalf of their client should only call when their client is with them as they will be required to answer questions.

Please call 020 8196 4524 to make an appointment and see our asylum screening unit pages for further information.
