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'. birmingham.ac.uk/research/su…

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

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 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. ow.ly/sqtP50zJ0Dc

😓 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

The Immigration Bill passes the second reading 351 to 252 votes. In the middle of a global pandemic, the Tories haven't put in place basic provisions to protect migrants. But they are forging ahead with their anti-immigration agenda that treats people like commodities.

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

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: donate.helprefugees.org #wewantchange #50psforrefugees #chooselove
