Refugee opinions wanted

12:07am Wednesday 14th May 2008

By Jo Winrow »

A ten-day consultation has been launched today to gauge public response to the Refugee and Asylum Seeker Integration Strategy in the Yorkshire & Humber region.

The Refugee Integration Programme aims to improve the way the region supports refugees to become independent and integrated members of their new neighbourhoods and communities.

The consultation is aimed at organisations and individuals including policy makers, service providers, front-line staff, volunteers, researchers, politicians, community organisations and any other organisation or individual in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

The formal written consultation paper is available at refugeeaccess.info.

A separate consultation is to be held next month for refugees and asylum seekers to increase their participation and input into the process.
