What about information gaps?
unaccompanied asylum seeking children [UASC]?people who have been trafficked to the UK?particular ethnic groups such as the Roma or the Kurds?refused asylum seekers who are destitute?new refugees?undocumented migrants ?migrants who have come to join their families already in the UK? migrants who have left an area, region or the UK?
Local knowledge, shops, services and research can help to fill some of these gaps
What’s happening in 2016?
Rise in:EU arrivals (Poland still dominant, Romania and southern EU growing)Asylum applications (Eritrea top, Sudan growing)
Reduction in:Non-EU students, families and workers? (were declining but recent reversal)…
…leading to displacement into short-term study / asylum routes?
No change:New EU countries (Western Balkans, Turkey and Iceland are EU candidates)Policy changes on entry (focused on welfare access not entry routes, little change pre-election)
International students
7 700 international students registered at a HE institution in Leeds in 2013-2014 Local universities and FE colleges in the city – and region depend on themOver 75% of overseas students are from outside the EU and so pay higher feesOverseas students make huge contributions to the wider local economies in Leeds – and in Bradford, Hull, Huddersfield, Sheffield and York.
Asylum seekersOn 28 October 2015 there were 617 supported asylum seekers in LeedsBetween January and October 2015 2,185 individuals moved into G4S accommodation in West Yorkshire and 1,1918 moved out. Many moving out will remain in LeedsTop countries of origin were Sudan, Eritrea, Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq82% of all new cases in 2015 are singles- mostly men
Where does Syria fit?
Around 150 Syrians currently supported in Y&H as asylum seekers Also around 400 Syrians arrived in Y&H during past 12 months
Syrians can arrive through a number of routes:• Arrive independently as asylum seekers• Refugee resettlement directly from refugee camps
in/near Syria (not from EU countries)• With a visa through the PBS to work or study, as a
visitor, or through the family route.
Syrian Resettlement Scheme25 Syrians have moved into Leeds during the last 6 months as part of the existing VPRS. Some have significant health issues Leeds has agreed to take 7 more families (c25 individuals) before ChristmasLeeds will take about 200 altogether over the next 2 yearsCentral Govt. funding to cover initial health, school and housing management costs Each LA considering whether to participateMassive local support that needs to be harnessed.
Syrian Resettlement Scheme
Will come with Humanitarian Protection for 5 years - so will NOT be asylum seekersSo will therefore not be coming through the current asylum/G4S route They will be able to work and/or claim benefits and sign a tenancyAfter the 5 years Humanitarian families will be able to apply for permanent settlement rights or return home
Migrants are people not numbers
Not all migrants have the same level of support needsWho is particularly vulnerable?• Negative experiences (exploitation / persecution)• UASC (unaccompanied asylum seeking children)• Trafficked migrants• Newest arrivals • Those not allowed to work• Undocumented migrants• Destitute migrants
Deterrence? Policy impacts on migration and integrationHealthcare charge£200 per year
Applies to third country nationals coming to the UK with limited leave£200 a year per individual (£150 for students) - payable in advance. Visitors, Tier 2 workers, asylum seekers, trafficked & DV victims, Australians and New Zealanders exempt.Visitors and short term students charged 150% of costs instead.
Landlord and bank checks on immigration status
Residential landlords to check immigration status of all tenants.Some student exemptions May restrict access to housing unless both migrants and landlords are aware of these changes.Bank checks against database of immigration offenders
New legislationAsylum payment rates were “standardised” in August 2015. Most people receive less A single parent with two children will now receive £110.85 rather than £149.86 per week – a reduction of almost £40.00 p/wA new Bill will end or severely reduce asylum support to refused familiesDespite widespread opposition the Bill has received its first reading- Significant implications for LA’s & voluntary sector
Working with migrants
Some migrants struggle to access public services and some public services struggle to engage with migrant service users.Concerns about ‘getting it wrong’ when interacting directly with migrants are valid How can we reduce barriers?Multi-agency meetings – a good forum for building links
New migrant Roma
Historically, Roma have been one of the poorest and most vulnerable communities in Europe, due to systematic marginalisation and exclusionMigration triggered during WWII, end of Cold War and EU expansion.Approximately 25 000 Roma are currently resident in Yorkshire and Humber (2012)Not a homogenous group but have common historical roots.
New migrant RomaDifficulties Roma face:
Sub-standard accommodation leading to poor educational attendance /attainment, health problems, environmental issues. Lack of formal work credentials/experienceHate crime, racism, and discrimination fuelled by media coverage.
Difficulties in service response:Funding cuts prevent many initiativesA lack of reliable information on the population Unwillingness among many to self-ascribe as RomaDiversity among Roma and complexity of needs make it harder to ensure appropriate service provision.
Challenges as migrants
What challenges can migrants face?
living in a new country and experiencing a new culturelearning a new languagemanaging without familiar support networktensions between culture of their country of birth and UKfamily responsibilities in the UK or country of originmaintaining valid immigration statusvisa conditions which restrict entitlementseducation and work experience in another countryrequirements to demonstrate eligibility for entitlements
