By the end of the course you will be able to: 

• Understand the underpinning principles of a refugee-led integration framework
• Recognise where your role fits within the wider integration process
• Understand how dependency is created and how to build on people’s resilience
• Have had the opportunity to troubleshoot any integration-related issues

Who is this course for? 

This is an introductory course for practitioners and managers from the statutory and third sector in Scotland who are providing integration support to refugees or people in the asylum process.

This course assumes a basic understanding of the UK asylum and refugee protection context. We recommend that practitioners who are completely new to this area of work attend our Introduction to Refugees: Asylum and Resettlement course first, before proceeding to the Introduction to supporting refugee integration training.
