We are always looking for contributors for our blogs, particularly if you have experience as a refugee or of the asylum system. Contact our Digital Communications Officer if you’d like to get involved.
The opinions expressed in our blogs are the views and opinions of the writer. Scottish Refugee Council cannot be held responsible for others' opinions.
