Regional Social Inclusion Strategy
The West Midlands Strategic Partnership worked with key partners to develop a Regional strategy for the social inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers in the West Midlands 2006 - 2009. It was developed according to different themes covering the key areas of concern for refugee and asylum seeker integration in the Region.
A copy of the strategy, and the executive summary, are available to download below:
WMSMP has recently undertaken a Review of the Regional Social Inclusion Strategy and held two Regional consultation events, where partners from a range of sectors provided input on Strategy achievements, outstanding actions and new issues and priorities. Existing Partnership structures and groups were also used in the review process to comment on the different themes of the Strategy and the progress made against actions, including refugees themselves through the Regional Refugee Forum. Over 200 people from different sectors and areas of the West Midlands were involved.
The findings of the Review of the Regional Social Inclusion Strategy were fed into the WMSMP Migration Matters conference on 23 February 2009. The full Review Report can be accessed at:
