Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) regulation and clinics

This resource explains the regulatory and accreditation framework governing immigration and asylum advice in England and Wales, with a particular focus on its relevance to law clinics and not-for-profit advice providers. It outlines when Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) regulation is required, the different accreditation routes for individuals and organisations, and how these interact with Law Society IAAS accreditation and legal aid requirements. The document also shares practical insights and lessons learned from clinics already delivering immigration and asylum services, to support organisations in designing compliant, sustainable, and effective advice projects.
