We are still looking to talk to practitioners, service providers, NGOs and community workers who work with #forcedmigrant, #refugee and #asylumseeking families about their experiences. Please get in touch to arrange a quick chat

[IRiS @IRiS_Birmingham]

Blog by our @GCRF Researcher @RafisTweets highlights that 'those working with #refugee and asylum-seeking children feel that current support offered to children is insufficient in meeting their unique needs'.

@ckmcgill Hi there, thank you for getting in touch. I'll send you a message now with further information

[Refugee Action @RefugeeAction]

This is how people seeking asylum have been treated since the coronavirus crisis began in March. Left out of measures to provide extra help, they're still waiting for @pritipatel and @borisjohnson to be true to their words.

No decision = a decision not to help. #StandUpForAsylum

[Rafiyah Khan @RafisTweets]

As we know #Covid19 disproportionately affects those from a #BAME background. Understanding the impact this is happening on the daily lives of individuals is key to improving services

[FORWARD UK @FORWARDUK]

FORWARD has launched a survey 🤳🏾 looking to better understand how the #Coronavirus is affecting #BAMEwomen’s lives. From health and life experiences, to how the lockdown is affecting your feelings of safety and relations with others in the household.

Fascinating insight into the impact of #covid19 on #refugeewomen #survivors of #SGBV. I urge everyone to read this short report

[Sandra Pertek @sandrapertek]

"Everything that we've been through is nothing compared to this pandemic" said a refugee survivor of #war and #SGBV

Proud to release a report that helps us understand the impact of COVID-19 on forced migrant survivors of SGBV with @japhillimore @pipmck

[City of Sanctuary UK 🧡 @CityofSanctuary]

😓 Deeply disappointed that the heroic work of low paid health and social care staff is clapped every week but not properly rewarded or recognised as valued and wanted. The Immigration Bill is a lost opportunity to create much needed reform & end the #HostileEnvironment

[Rafiyah Khan @RafisTweets]

@DrShazee @UniBham_Nursing @UoB_IAHR So sad I missed this!

[Rafiyah Khan @RafisTweets]

Sadly accurate

[Rafiyah Khan @RafisTweets]

There's something so moving about a room full of strong, powerful women singing and dancing in solidarity #SistersNotStrangers @4refugeewomen

[Rafiyah Khan @RafisTweets]

@meechan_ronnie Aw this is great, well done Ronnie!!

[Rafiyah Khan @RafisTweets]

Thank you @RefugeeFestBRL and @RefugeeWeek for a wonderful day of performances, talks and workshops (and INCREDIBLE food) #RWConference2020

[Rafiyah Khan @RafisTweets]

This is such a wonderful idea. Donate your #Brexit50p to help and support refugees. #RefugeesWelcome

[Choose Love @chooselove]

We want change!

Three million #Brexit50p enter circulation today. Why not donate them to groups upholding the UK’s tradition of friendship, welcome and sanctuary: https://t.co/3RfcnZn6rr

[Donald Tusk @donaldtuskEPP]

My dear British friends. We were, we are, and we will always be a Community. And no brexit will ever change that. 🇪🇺❤️🇬🇧
