Welcome to the UK Resources
What resources are available?
This page contains a range of information materials for asylum seekers and refugees. NEMP has worked with Regional Refugee Forum North East to create a range of welcome resources for newly arriving refugees and asylum seekers. The resources were made in partnership with the Regional Refugee Forum North East whose Members have translated it into the top 10 languages of the region.
Welcome to the UK leaflets, posters, flyers, video guides and information leaflets
These Welcome to the UK resources are available for organisations to use, download and circulate digitally or to print out. They are available in a number of languages. The posters and flyers can be used to promote the resources available which aim to provide new refugees and asylum seekers with an introduction to life in the UK, insights into social norms, expectations, rights and responsibilities, and the tools to navigate unfamiliar systems.
We also have hard copies of both the leaflets and posters available in a number of languages. If you would like copies please contact nemp@middlesbrough.gov.uk.
