answer text <p>The Home Office is committed to the continuous review of the impacts of the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) policy. Officials are working with a wide range of stakeholders, including other government departments, the devolved administrations and third sector organisations to develop a better understanding of the impacts of the policy, including on funding.</p><p>There are important safeguards in place for those in genuine need. Local authorities may provide basic safety net support, regardless of immigration status, if it is established that either there is a risk to the wellbeing of a child or there is a genuine care need that does not arise solely from destitution, for example, where a person has community care needs or serious health problems.</p> more like this
