Accompaniment in Action
Find out all you need to know about our Accompaniment in Action series.
Welcome to our monthly series known as Accompaniment in Action which will see us take a closer look at the various ways that JRS accompanies our refugee friends and they us. We will be speaking to members of staff, volunteers and hear from our refugee friends. Join us for this series to find out more about JRS as we begin to celebrate our 40th year.
Accompaniment is very much the bedrock of all we do at JRS UK and we are excited to be able to share with you the way this impacts our various projects. Below you will find details of each of the events in the series, with information on how to register for upcoming events and recordings of events which have already been held so you can catch up on any you have missed.
Asylum Explained
Join us for the second of our Accompaniment in Action events where we will be joined by Michael Tarnoky, our Senior Legal Officer, and Bernadette Smith, our Legal Caseworker, as we discuss the asylum system here in the UK. We will talk about how the system works, some of the difficulties our friends face when going through it and have the opportunity for you to ask the questions you might have about the process of seeking safety in the UK.

Detained and Dehumanised
In June, JRS UK released its latest report Detained and Dehumanised: The Impact of Immigration Detention. Join Sophie Cartwright, JRS UK’s Policy Officer, and William Neal, JRS UK’s Detention Outreach Officer, as they discuss the report and share some of the experiences of the refugee friends who have been detained. They will shed some light on the incredibly damaging effects of indefinite detention which so often go unreported.
