Training

Lancashire Refugee Integration Team is comprised of a diverse staff team with a range of experience in asylum and refugee work. We are therefore able to devise and deliver bespoke training packages to support community groups, voluntary/charity organizations, schools and faith groups. We can also provide training for statutory services who are keen to develop their knowledge of the refugee landscape in Lancashire.
