Overhaul of Refugee Archive Online Resources

This is a quick posting to let everyone know that there will now be a limited output on the Refugee Archive at UEL blogs over the next few months. this is to enable us to undertake a review of our online presence and to make some necessary changes and upgrades, and hopefully some improvements too, to our online presence.

Many apologies in advance for the reduced service but we hope to have a new and revised online presence available in time for the start of the new academic year in August/September 2009.

Many thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Yours Sincerely,

Paul Dudman
Archivist.

Additional Info: From The Refugee Council website: “This report reveals the extent and causes of destitution for people seeking asylum and refugees across the UK, and proposes solutions for implementation by policy makers and administrators of the asylum system. It is a repeat of the first Destitution Tally conducted by the Asylum Support Partnership in 2007 and published in January 2008 which demonstrated the extent of destitution among asylum seekers and refugees accessing their One Stop Services across the UK. In October 2008 the Partnership agencies repeated the survey to demonstrate the persistence of destitution as a feature of the lives of asylum seekers and refugees and their independent advice services, and to understand further its extent and causes.Between the 1st and 31st of October 2008, case workers from the 5 refugee agencies which comprise the Partnership completed a short survey for each client contact episode, recording the proportion of the people who were destitute. The survey results were collated and are presented in this report alongside existing research recommendations. It recommends a range of policy and operational solutions to end destitution as a feature of the UK asylum system.”
