INFOSHEETS - WHO DOESN'T LOVE A FACT?

Facts, figures, statistics: don’t be scared of them, embrace them. Information on asylum is so fast-changing and complicated, we thought we’d better create a one-stop-shop for key facts and figures about asylum in plain English for volunteers and staff.

In doing so, we hope we’ve offered up an easy-to-use encyclopedia of knowledge that others can have at their digital disposal too.

Infosheets

These sheets are also used as handouts for audiences that want more info on particular issues, and we often send them to media folk who need accurate facts around asylum. We take genuine pride in the fact that this is high-quality information, referenced from academic and government sources.

We do two versions (in both colour and black and white) – long ones, which are good for staff and volunteers and other ahem, ‘committed’ readers, and short ones which work well as handouts.

And as the project is based in Liverpool, Nottingham and Bristol, we’ve produced local versions of many infosheets as well as a national version. The downloads come in handy ZIP file bundles. You’ll need WinZip to unzip the bundles and Acrobat Reader to view the pdf files inside.
