The Strategic Legal Fund for Refugee Children and Young People (SLF) has issued two new publications.
A Key Issues List aims to highlight the type of work that the SLF will fund and seeks to encourage applications. You can download it here.
Also new is the first SLF Bulletin, which indicates the progress of the pilot project. You can download the February 2102 bulletin here.
The SLF opened in October 2011 and supports strategic legal work: work which goes beyond securing justice for an individual to make a significant contribution to law, practice and procedures that upholds and promotes the rights of refugee and asylum seeking children and young people (up to the age of 21). The SLF is time limited and will run from October 2011 to July 2012.
