Shropshire Supports Refugees - Academic Research
As an learning and evolving charitable organisation, we would welcome the opportunity to work with academic researchers on assessing and reflecting on our accountability, learning and continual improvement through the systematic examination and analysis of our beneficiaries interactions with our own organisational strategies, policies, and programmes provided and signposted by us and that of other agencies and communities in Shropshire.
​
We feel this would enhance our performance in addressing the protection, assistance and solution needs of refugees, stateless people and other persons of concern resettling in Shropshire and in turn will strengthen our ability to provide support and guidance to other organisations.
