Occasional Paper No.05 March 2000: Improving the Health of Asylum Seekers: an Overview. Participation in research commissioned by Northern and Yorkshire Public Health Observatory
This research was commissioned in response to concerns expressed by health service providers and was carried out between October 2001 and January 2002. This paper provides an overview of the detailed report, Improving the health of asylum seekers in Northern and Yorkshire: a report on service provision and needs (Ruth Wilson, Tandem Communications and Research) available on the Northern and Yorkshire Public Health Observatory website: www.nypho.org.uk
REFUGEE HOUSING PROJECT NORTH EAST : REFUGEE ASPIRATIONS ON FUTURE HOUSING NEEDS IN THE NORTH EAST OF ENGLAND. Participation in research commissioned by Banks of the Wear (available July 2002).
This report provides a snapshot of the housing and support needs / aspirations of members of the refugee communities across the North East. It specifically identifies secondary support needs in relation to move-on accommodation. The researchers and the steering group do not claim the findings as representative although this report provides the best evidence to-date on the aspirations and needs of refugees in relation to housing and settlement in the North East Region, which is recognised as a major factor in promoting longer term integration and retaining refugees in the North East.
