The present study intents to analyse the British Government public policies concerning refugees from the beginning of this decade until the current moment under the Brexit negotiation context. In this article it shall be investigated the actions taken by United Kingdom regarding the refugees’ rights and their inclusion within the country, aiming to scrutinize if the government is complying with what has been determined by the treaties and conventions the state has signed. In that respect, the present research shall explore the legislation available on this matter, and also analyse speeches of the relevant political bodies and data referring to the reality of the refugees in the country.
