Rejected petition End ‘Safe Return Review’ and Deportation of Refugees.

Refugees, recognised as needing protection, are granted 5 years’ leave to remain. They can then apply for permanent residence – previously typically straightforward. New policy by default deports refugees at this stage if the home office deems it safe, removing their chance to rebuild their lives.

More details

Those granted refugee status here should be able to settle in the UK permanently. A policy of review and possible deportation removes refugees’ security and in practice endangers people. It is also bad for British society as it forcibly uproots people from British communities of which they are part.
Here, ‘refugees’ includes those granted humanitarian protection.
For 'safe return review' policy see documents Asylum Policy Instruction Settlement Protection 4.0, 02.16; Refugee Leave 4.0, 03.17.
