Messages from frontline asylum charities wondering what to do in face of gov claiming start of asylum arrests tomorrow:
1. People are frightened, be careful not to allow our fear to spread further to them. Be calm. Remember your role is to listen, present options, don’t direct.

Yesterday, my heart was deeply touched, alongside other NHS leaders, as a courageous woman shared her story. From the challenging journey of seeking asylum to finally being granted refugee status, her narrative revealed the staggering adversities she faced every step of the way.
It was a profound moment that stirred raw emotions within us all, leading me to question:
Do we solely rely on lived experiences to determine our capacity for compassion? Can't we, with compassion and empathy, lead the change for a system that uplifts rather than fails?
We have written this resource with @GMIAU to help people in asylum accommodation who are receiving either a grant of refugee status or a refusal of their claim for asylum to understand their housing rights.
