New research from SOAS University of London, University of Huddersfield and the Refugee Council highlights the difficulties confronting refugees, as well as the issues faced by local authorities and voluntary and community sector organisations trying to prevent homelessness. The session will also explore ways of addressing the move-on challenge, including changes to government policy and practice and inspiring examples of innovative initiatives, offering a roadmap for more coordinated, humane, and effective housing transitions.

The project aims to bring researchers and Westminster closer together, to address the democratic deficit which we believe is a result of encroaching government control on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly on SOAS and other university campuses. The project is born out of the five-year AHRC/ESRC funded project, “Representing Islam on Campus”, and the follow-up project, “Voices of Dissent”. We intend that this project will serve as a model for the higher education sector and democracy more generally.\r\rVISIT our website to learn more: https://blogs.soas.ac.uk/cop/\rFOLLOW us on Twitter: https://lnkd.in/dTMqeNt\r\rSUBSCRIBE to our mailing list to get our briefings in your inbox: https://lnkd.in/ed6WWFN\r\rLISTEN to our 5-mins Briefings here: https://soundcloud.com/user-819411355\r\r(If you would like to get your research findings into Westminster, please get in touch)\r\r#research #policyresearch #evidencebasedpolicy #knowledgeexchange" } ] } ] ```
