This ESRC-funded project which commenced in January 2001 addressed some
of the problems facing asylum-seekers and the communities to which they
were being dispersed. Intended to provide a practical guide to strategies
that have been used to shape positively local community responses to the
presence of asylum seekers newly arrived in their midst, the project examined
both good and bad practice nationally. It produced a practical overview
of current practice intended to be of use to local authorities and other
agencies involved in the distribution and settlement process.
