The safeguarding of adults seeking asylum

The following one-off course is available to book:

The safeguarding of adults seeking asylum (and other forms of sanctuary)

Course Description

This session aims to prompt discussion about the safeguarding needs of people seeking sanctuary. The content is based on what learning has been produced from statutory reviews where adults seeking sanctuary have been the subjects.

It will include basic background about the various migration schemes that people follow to settle in the UK and the South-West demographics.

It’s hoped that by delivering the content, it will prompt discussion about safeguarding this underrepresented population.

Cost

This course is free to attend - booking is via your Virtual College account. Please see booking information here.
