The Right to Remain asylum navigation board is a way to understand each step of the UK asylum system.

Participants can learn about what people going through the system (and those supporting them) can do to be in a better position.

As you navigate around the board, participants can read “Information Cards” which outline what that stage of the process is, and how to navigate it.

Many problems can arise during the process of seeking asylum. For each stage on the board, participants can look at “Problem” cards and think about what the solution could be. There are ideas for possible solutions to those problems on the reverse “Action” side of the card.

Further information about all the stages, and the problems and potential solutions, can be found in the Right to Remain Toolkit.

The navigation board, developed by Right to Remain, Dr Vicky Canning, and Calverts Cooperative, was originally a “serious board game”, with a physical board. It is now an online resource.

Through the following pages, you will be able to navigate through each stage of the process, read the information cards and then consider the problems which arise at each stage. We recommend that you do this with at least one other person. When you reach a problem card, discuss the problem with your friend. What actions can you suggest that might help in the situation? Once you have finished discussing, you can click to read the suggested actions. Then, you can move on to the next stage of the process.
