This book provides a comprehensive picture of social work with both
asylum-seeking adults and children, and people recognised as
refugees in Britain. It draws directly from practice experience and
uses a range of methods to convey the immediacy of front-line work
with a group of people whose reasons for being here are still only
vaguely understood by many in the social work profession and
beyond. Supportive social work with asylum seekers and refugees in
both the voluntary and state sectors is seen to have a vital role
in the lives of people who are often considered to be unwelcome and
unwanted by the state, and who are regarded with suspicion and
hostility by the general population compounded by negative
portrayal in the media. The authors discuss the wider political and
social contexts of asylum-seeking and its causes in the
inequalities of wealth which exist between the global North and
South, coupled with the persecutory regimes and conflict prevalent
in many areas of the world. This book will be essential reading for
all social workers and social work students who are increasingly
likely to encounter asylum seekers and refugees in their practice.
