Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers (accessible)

Published 19 August 2026

Living in the UK

You are in the United Kingdom (UK) because you are seeking asylum.

We understand that coming to a new country can be diffi cult, and that laws and customs here may be different from your home country.

In the UK, there are laws that protect everyone’s safety, dignity and rights. It is important that you understand them, because not following UK law can have serious consequences. You could get in trouble with the police, lose your asylum support, or it could affect your asylum claim.

This booklet will help you understand what is expected of you when living in the UK.

These rules and expectations are not just for people seeking asylum, they apply to everyone living here.

If you have questions about anything in this booklet, speak to staff at your accommodation or contact Migrant Help on 0808 8010 503.

If you or someone you know needs help because of abuse, violence or crime, there is a list of organisations that can support you at the end of this booklet.

Gender equality

In the UK, men and women have equal rights. This is an important part of UK culture and is protected by law.

Women can:

work and earn their own money

study and go to school or university

travel freely

choose who they marry, or choose not to marry

make their own decisions about their lives

Women do not need permission from a husband, father, brother or any other man to do any of these things.

Men and women are treated equally by the law, by employers, by schools and by services like hospitals and the police. It is against the law to treat someone unfairly because of their gender.

What is expected of you

Everyone in the UK is expected to treat men and women equally. Even if you are a family member, like a husband, father or brother, you must never:

stop a woman from working or studying

control what a woman wears or where she goes

stop a woman from seeing friends or family

make decisions for a woman without her agreement

What could happen if you do not follow these rules

Treating someone unfairly because of their gender can have serious consequences. If your behaviour is controlling or threatening, it may also be treated as domestic abuse, which is a crime. You could get into trouble with the police, lose your accommodation and support, and it could affect your asylum claim. There is more information about domestic abuse in the next section.

Domestic abuse

Domestic abuse is when someone hurts, threatens, or controls their partner or family member. It can happen to anyone, regardless of their gender, age, or background.

Domestic abuse includes:

physical violence – hitting, pushing, kicking, or any physical harm

threats – saying you will hurt someone or making them afraid

controlling behaviour – controlling someone’s money, where they go, or who they can see
emotional abuse – criticism, humiliation, or making someone feel worthless

taking away documents – keeping someone’s passport or identity documents from them

What is expected of you

You are expected to:

treat your partner and family with respect

let them make their own choices

never physically or verbally abuse or control them

Domestic abuse is a serious crime in the UK. If you do any of the behaviours in the list, you could be arrested and go to prison, lose your accommodation and support, and it could affect your asylum claim.

If you are experiencing domestic abuse

You do not have to stay with someone who hurts or controls you. Help is available, and you will be treated with dignity and respect.

Reporting abuse will not negatively affect your asylum claim.

Sex and consent

Consent means both people freely agree to sex or sexual contact. In the UK, the law is clear and strict: both people must agree to sex or sexual contact of any kind. This means:

both people must say yes freely, without threat or pressure

someone can change their mind at any time, even if they said yes before

if someone is asleep, drunk, or unable to respond, they cannot consent

Consent is needed in every situation. This means even if you are married or in a relationship with someone, they must consent to sex every time.

If you have sex with someone without their consent, this is called rape. Rape is a serious crime in the UK. You could go to prison, lose your support and accommodation, and it will affect your asylum claim.

What is expected of you

You are expected to:

always make sure the other person freely and clearly agrees to sex or sexual contact

never use threat, force or pressure to make someone have sex

never try to have sex with someone who is asleep, drunk, or unable to consent clearly

stop if they say no or change their mind

The legal age of consent

The legal age of consent in the UK is 16. This means that anyone under the age of 16 is considered a child and cannot legally agree to have sex.

Sex with someone under the age of 16 is a serious crime in the UK. There are no exceptions to this rule. Even if they say yes, it is still illegal. You could go to prison, lose your support and accommodation, and it will affect your asylum claim.

If this has happened to you

If you have experienced sexual abuse or assault, support is available. You will be treated with respect and dignity. Anyone of any age or gender can get help.

The numbers for Rape Crisis in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are available at the end of this booklet.

You can report to the police by calling 999. Reporting will not negatively affect your asylum claim.

Respect in public

In the UK, people have different beliefs, religions, cultures, relationships and ways of life. You must treat others with respect, even if you disagree with their beliefs or how they live.

What is expected of you

When you are in public spaces, alone or with friends, you must never:

make sexual comments to someone, even if you think it is a compliment

whistle or make kissing noises at someone

follow someone or block their path

make rude or offensive gestures

verbally abuse someone because of their gender, religion, or how they look

Taking photographs and videos

In the UK, we respect people’s privacy. This means you must not take photographs or videos of someone without their consent.

It is a serious crime to:

take sexual images of someone without their consent

share sexual images of someone without their consent

If you do any of these things, you could be arrested and go to prison, lose your accommodation and support, and it could affect your asylum claim.

Very interesting that this pamphelt seems to be exclusively tailored for a male audience.

Where is the pamphlet for all of the female coloniz-...er, migrants entering the UK, I wonder?

Women dominate the asylum numbers in the UK due to Ukraine. Still, it is only about 10k per year.

How are you doing with your 10s of millions migrants over there?

The United States has the most immigrants in the Western world by a wide margin, hosting over 52 million foreign-born residents. This total is more than triple that of any other Western nation.Top Western Countries by Total Immigrant PopulationUnited States: ~52.4 millionGermany: ~16.8 millionUnited Kingdom: ~11.8 millionFrance: ~9.2 millionCanada: ~8.8 million

My. You seem to be projecting your problems again.

Thr US has 4.1x Germany's total population, but per your numbers it only has 3.1x the immigrant population.

It was noticable too. There were Muslims everywhere in Germany when I was last out there, both in the big cities and smaller towns. It wasn't so long ago that that wasn't the case, but it is now.

Enjoy the colonization.

Step 1 of dealing with a problem is admitting you have one.

Thr US right, for all its faults, understands we have this problem. Europe as a whole still does not.

One third of Germany's immigrants were born in the European Union. A sizable chunk of the rest are from Ukraine.

The big problem we have with colonization is actually the US. Can you imagine if we gave Isis the bandwidth hollywood has? Not to mention your freakish understanding of what capitalism is poisoning our economic development.

As to refugees. EU numbers have stabilized at around 9 million refugees and refugee applicants in total. Refugees in = refugees out in one way or another. About half of those refugees are from Ukraine.

The problem has been recognized long ago. Merkel was the last one to make the mistake of welcoming refugees from Syria as if they were from Ukraine. That was almost 20 years ago.

When you are in public spaces, alone or with friends, you must never:

”whistle or make kissing noises at someone”


Is it illegal to whistle in the UK?



”Taking photographs and videos”


Is street photography illegal? Every kid is running around with a phone and taking photographs and recording videos. Tourists too. Is this illegal?
