Policy, Research and Training
The Department has a remit to contribute to training, research and policy in issues that directly affect refugee and migrant women (who have experienced gender based violence), children and young people at a local and national level.
The Department sits on key Advisory Boards and Operational Steering Groups in order to raise awareness and provide a practitioner and legal insight into policy and practice on issues such as human trafficking, violence against women, mental health and issues affecting refugee and migrant children.
The Department is always happy to consider membership of other groups where this would be of benefit to the group and in line with the objectives of the Department.
The Department also undertakes seminars and training on issues affecting its client group. It does this by:-
- Organising its own seminars, please see Seminars and Publications
- Delivery of bespoke training to organisations
- Speaking at conferences and seminars organised by other organisations
The Department has a strong record in the delivery of its training. It is always happy to receive suggestions regarding future training. It is also happy to discuss the delivery of bespoke training to organisations.
