Becoming a trustee is the start of a journey — you don’t need to know everything at once.

We’ve organised this section so you can take it step by step.
If you’re thinking about becoming a trustee, start with the pink buttons.
If you’re new to the role, head to the blue section to get started.

From there, you can explore more about how LASSN works and the wider asylum system.

By the time you reach the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of the organisation and the context we operate in.
