Refugees are in the news all the time at the moment which brings up certain questions, for example, what's the difference between a refugee, asylum seeker and a migrant? Why do they flee, how do they get here, and why are they coming to the UK? This course will help you to understand the challenges that people face when they seek protection in the UK.
Drawing on the experiences of people seeking asylum and people who have been resettled in the UK, this course examines why people might need to flee their own country, how they seek asylum in the UK, and what opportunities exist for rebuilding their lives here in the UK.
This course is part of the suite of Universities of Sanctuary courses.
You work with or you are interested in the issues around people seeking asylum and refugees. The course is also designed for you if you make decisions affecting services that refugees are likely to access.
This course is available to commission. Have a chat with our training officer Martha Harding martha.harding@scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk to find out more or arrange an online meeting to discuss your needs.
