Delays in asylum decisions

Why are asylum and family reunion decisions delayed? What are the consequences of delay on the lives of refugees, and what can be done to challenge delays and assist refugees? The session will include discussion of the recently launched legal challenge by Asylum Aid arguing that the Home Office is acting unlawfully by failing to make asylum decisions as soon as possible, and to provide reliable time frames for decisions.
