Recent feedback:
Conversations like this are so important in what feels like a minefield of constant change while navigating through a complex political landscape, very grateful for this and feeling more equipped to help the people I support.
I was aware of some of the basics of the asylum system but I have learnt lots more really useful information on this course.
Really informative, clearly and empathetically delivered within a safe space to ask questions and seek clarity. Really appreciate!
