Access to Justice for Migrant Students


Listen Later

In this episode we talk about the impact of #OurGradesNotVisas campaign – together with Maryhill Integration Network and JustCitizens, and our landmark legal case which brought to a policy change in Scotland by extending the right to access education for migrant students for over two years. 

What happened? What was changed? 

We speak about our successful legal challenge achieved by our legal team when deciding to take our client’s case to court as there was a clear “issue of fairness and human rights at stake”, with our special guests Andy Sirel, Legal Partner and Director at JustRight Scotland, and Maisie Wilson, Legal Caseworker at JustRight Scotland.
