DT 1355 Family Members of EEA Nationals Birmingham

"Best course this year", "Brilliant, best training for ages", "Excellent, clear, and practical notes" - feedback from our London November 2011 session.

The session is aimed at legal practitioners (including particularly caseworkers) who regularly deal with EEA nationals and their family members, including not only immigration practitioners but also those primarily involved in social support. 
The aim of the session is to provide an overview of the rights of the family members/relatives of EEA nationals, to improve participants’ understanding of those rights and improve their ability to make those arguments in a variety of contexts (immigration foremost, but also access to benefits, housing and NHS care).
