The development of the city’s Strategic, Coordinated and Inclusive Approach to Migration was the result of a year’s consultation and research over 2016 - 2017. The process included focus groups with Migrant communities, as well as migrant third sector organisations and other stakeholders to understand the available offer in support. This was to assess what the needs of migrant communities’, where they are currently being met and where gaps and provisions may arise as funding ceases. This research and consultation looked at a number of key areas including integration, transition, housing, health, employment, money, education, language, destitution, legal advice, safeguarding, young people, cohesion and tensions. This resulted in a report to the Executive Board in July 2017 which outlines the city’s approach to the consultation process.
