Call for Evidence Update:
We have received a wealth of material, including never-before-heard accounts from those in the asylum system, and from grassroots organisations that support asylum-seekers.
Every piece of evidence received will help inform our panel's recommendations.
There’s still time to share your views with us!
We want all voices to be heard! Every piece of evidence is crucial as we investigate the handling of asylum accommodation and support in Scotland during Covid-19 and since.
Your experience matters, and it's important that it is heard.
There is an option to anonymise submissions and we can also provide support for anyone who would like to share their experiences with us.
