Humanitarian Protection

Overview

Humanitarian protection in the UK is granted to individuals who do not qualify for asylum but are at risk of serious harm if returned to their home country. The Home Office assesses applications based on the risk of persecution, the applicant’s personal circumstances, and the conditions in the home country. A successful application requires clear evidence that the applicant faces a real threat, whether due to violence, conflict, or other significant harm.
