Objectives
Our key objective is to offer training to people in statutory services and other groups working with refugees and asylum seekers. Our information is research-based and accurate. We aim to be a resource on refugee issues, especially health issues.

Rationale
Health service staff often comment that they feel under-confident in their work with refugees and asylum seekers. They perceive that this client group has problems they do not understand and that, often with language difficulties, consultations will take longer and be less effective.
The National Health Service is grounded in an ethos of equality and yet in many ways refugees are disadvantaged in accessing health services. We feel that if health staff are more aware of the refugee experience and are given the information and skills needed to work effectively with this group they will be able to offer a better quality of care to this marginalised group.

Details
We periodically run 1 day national workshops, which are open to anybody. For further information and dates, please see Flyer or go to our Booking page.

We also offer training sessions on a half-day or full-day basis. We travel to your workplace to hold training sessions (maximum of 15 people per session).
We offer ‘tailor-made’ training packages, so you can design your own package appropriate for your needs. We will discuss all elements of training and you can decide what parts you want to include.

All sessions are fully evaluated.
