REFUGEE COUNCIL TRAINING & CONFERENCES

Key issues in asylum
New summer date announced: 7 August in London
Hopefully the pace in your office is slowing a little as people take their summer holidays, giving you time to get round to those jobs you’ve been meaning to do for ages. Maybe you want to take this chance to pick up some new skills? In which case why not come along to our introductory course, 'Key issues in asylum', which covers the 2006 Immigration and Nationality Bill and the New Asylum Model.

Building Communities: equality and diversity in action

With the recent publication of the Commission on Integration and Cohesion’s report 'Our shared future' and the launch in October 2007 of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, these important and timely conferences seek to clarify the legislative background to refugee integration and examine current policy and practice in this area. http://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/eventsandtraining/conferences/buildingcommunities.htm
