Commissioned by NHS England South East, and in partnership with Compass Collective, Counterpoints Arts has produced a short film and leaflet to help asylum seekers in the UK stay safe and get access to health services.
Resources - quick links:
Film (in English, with English subtitles)
Leaflet (English, with translations in Arabic, Farsi, Kurdish and Tigrinya)
The materials resulted from an applied arts education project run by Counterpoints Arts in partnership with creative practitioners working in theatre, photography, writing and film, commissioned by NHS England South East. The project included a series of creative sessions with men living at Napier Barracks in Folkestone that considered themes relating to personal safety, accessing health services, and cultural exchange and understanding – including in relation to gender equality.
The short printed leaflet “Advice on Healthcare and Social Issues” (pdf) is in English with translations into Arabic, Farsi, Kurdish and Tigrinya.
There is a prompt sheet to go with the film, containing further information and links for support workers to share.
