Inger den Haan
Inger arrived from the Netherlands in 1999. After a brief stint working for the Legal Aid Agency as a senior caseworker she started work in immigration practice in 2002, joining the then Immigration Advisory Service initially as an appeals representative, spending most of her days in court, and soon as a supervisor as well. A move to CELC saw a mix of community outreach work (mostly around child citizenship and undocumented young people) and increasingly complex casework for clients with trauma, mental health, medical and capacity issues. She followed this with five years at Freedom from Torture working in a clinical multidisciplinary team, advising clients and clinicians and reviewing clinical letters. Now she is back at CELC as a supervisor with a caseload of mostly very vulnerable clients and also managing a council funded migrant rights in the community project and working with partner agencies locally around immigration issues.
