Topic: A report on the experiences and well-being of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants
Date: 12 September 2022 from 13.30-15.30
Location: Nuffield Foundation, 100 St John Street, London, EC1M 4EH & online via Zoom.
Find out more about the project on the Nuffield Foundation website.
Register online for the launch via Eventbrite.
Led by a team from the Institute for Research into Superdiversity at the University of Birmingham in collaboration with Doctors of the World UK, the project used a mixed methods approach to examine the well-being of migrants at risk of vulnerability.
The event will feature a showcase of the project and a discussion of the findings detailed in the report, examining the implications of the research for policy, practice and advocacy. Attendees will have the opportunity to unpack the research in an interactive group workshop, considering how we can ensure the findings are best used, and other practical next steps.
The event will specifically look at three themes:
Well-being of migrants at risk of vulnerability and influencing factors (2011-2018).
Well-being during the pandemic.
The well-being of asylum seekers in initial and contingency accommodation during the pandemic.
This hybrid event will be held at the Nuffield Foundation in London with the option to watch the presentations and take part in the discussions online. Further detail on the programme and agenda will be circulated to registered guests closer to the event. In person guests are invited to arrive at the Nuffield Foundation for registration and lunch from 12.30. The event will begin at 13.30.
The team are reimbursing some or all of standard class travel costs for individuals working for NGOs and in the third sector who would like to attend the event in person.
