This service will provide an OISC level 3 advice service to advise the regions LA's and UASCs on their immigration and asylum matters. It will primarily act as a screening service and where necessary provide casework, when a specific criterion is met. Advice will be delivered after screening cases for young people, where possible signposting or referring to other legal professionals who can continue working on the case.
