Refugee integration strategy

'Finding Sanctuary, Enriching Yorkshire and Humber' - the regional integration strategy for refugees and asylum seekers 2009-2011

The Yorkshire and Humber Regional Migration Partnership produced this strategy following extensive consultation, as part of the Refugee Integration Programme. The aim of the strategy is the integration of refugees and asylum seekers into the Yorkshire and Humber region and its local communities. The strategy sets out a vision for integration and key objectives. It also identifies regional priorities for action under six areas of integration: housing, health, work and skills, safety, community and society, and children and young people.
