The websites of organizations involved in advocacy, debate and law reform will give a wide range of information and a sense of the flavour of current debates and policy issues. It is good to keep up to date with one or two of them on a regular basis.
Here are some options:

Refugee Action is a national charity working on access to legal advice, destitution, and refugee rights. See https://www.refugee-action.org.uk/
All of these organizations give updates on some legal issues and information on campaigns relating to law and policy.
