Postdoctoral researcher, currently based at the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE), Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics. Using mixed methods approaches, my research examines poverty and inequality faced by children and young people subject to immigration control in high income contexts. My doctoral research, funded by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), looked at the experiences of poverty among children in asylum seeking families in the UK. My wider research focus is on poverty and inequality within the immigration and asylum context, and so far I have focused on policies which restrict access to mainstream social security benefits for children in migrant families referred to as 'no recourse to public funds' / NRPF policies. Prior to starting my PhD, I worked at The Children's Society leading the organisation's policy, influencing and research work on poverty and inequality, with expertise in asylum, immigration and trafficking policy. During this time, I managed a number of research projects including on poverty among children and young people subject to immigration control; legal aid for separated children's immigration matters; and the impact of family debt on children's mental health and well-being.

Social Cost Benefit Analysis of the no recourse to public funds (NRPF) policy in London

Authors Eleanor Benton, Jacob Karlsson, Ilona Pinter, ...
Description
This report estimates the monetised social and economic gains (benefits) of removing of the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) condition for certain household in England. It compares this to the costs of allowing them to be able to apply for welfare benefits and various public services paid for from public funds. This is in the form of a Social Cost Benefit Analysis and was prepared as an independent analysis for the Greater London Authority. The households in scope are households and families with visas statuses including the right to work, some of whom are on visa routes that could lead to long-term settlement in the UK. These includes holders of Tier 1, 2 or 5 visas who come to the UK to work and their dependents; those who are in the UK because of family links; dependents or others who are linked to the primary visa holder and those estimated to come via the Hong Kong British National Overseas scheme. The report estimates that there are approximately 362,000 households, including 106,000 households with children, would potentially be affected by lifting the NRPF condition. Access to public funds would be restricted by existing qualifying conditions limiting access to welfare benefits and other services to households in need of this public assistance. It found that, over ten years, removing the NRPF condition just for households with children and other vulnerable individuals would result in a net gain of £872 million. Removing the condition for all those on these visas would result in a £428 million net gain.
