“The border controls dividing our communities – and how we can bring them down”

 

This guide is aimed at civil society organisations, their supporters and the wider public interested in challenging the hostile environment – a set of immigration enforcement policies that has turned several ordinary institutions into border guards.

The guide covers hostile environment policies in schools, banking, higher education, employment, health, social services and homeless support, driving, housing and street policing.

Each section contains a summary of recently introduced policies, the reasons for opposing them, and some practical steps that anyone can take if they agree that the hostile environment is an unacceptable overextension of immigration enforcement, violating principles of care, privacy, equality and public service.”
