For the wider project which informed this guide, I should like to thank all the refugees who gave freely of their time for discussion and interviews, and also representatives of professional bodies and support and policy organisations who provide detailed and informed input to the project.
At Migration Yorkshire, Kate James and Pip Tyler, as well as the wider team, provided guidance and support, and Jack Liuta made a valuable contribution as a peer researcher.
My colleagues at Leeds Beckett University Naeema Hann and Nicole Whitworth helped to conceptualise and produce the project, and Louise Laybourne provided support with administration and finance. Thanks also to Aaron Grierson, Sara Rushworth and Madeleine Knight for help with the research.
This guide is meant to be as useful as possible to professional bodies, refugees, and the people supporting them, so if there are any suggestions for improvements, additions, clarifications, or corrections please get in touch.
