Vulnerability, migration and well-being: report launch

Understand the factors shaping the well-being of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants, and the impact of the hostile environment.

Join us for the report launch of the Vulnerability, migration, and well-being: investigating experiences, perceptions, and barriers project, funded by the Nuffield Foundation.

Run by a team from the Institute for Research into Superdiversity at the University of Birmingham in collaboration with Doctors of the World UK, the project used a mixed methods approach to examine the well-being of migrants at risk of vulnerability.

The event will feature a showcase of the project from Dr Laurence Lessard-Phillips and a discussion of the findings detailed in the report, examining the implications of the research for policy, practice and advocacy. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the research in an interactive group workshop, considering how we can ensure the findings are best used, and other practical next steps.

The event will look at three main themes:

• Well-being of migrants at risk of vulnerability and influencing factors (2011-2018).
• Well-being during the pandemic.
• The well-being of asylum seekers in initial and contingency accommodation during the pandemic.

This event has now passed, however, you can watch the recording of it below.
