Reports & Briefings

JCWI's policy team produces regular briefings and rigorous research on immigration law, policy & practice. We're a source of reliable analysis for MPs, journalists and other campaigning groups. 

Please note: we're in the process of cataloguing our vast backlog of briefings and reports so we'll be uploading them here in batches over the next few months. If there's a report you'd like to access that's not listed here, or if you've got a specific policy-related enquiry, please do contact our policy team here. If you're a journalist, please get in touch with our press team here.
