Equality Matters in Community Sponsorship: Considerations for Obtaining Feedback from Stakeholders (2022)

Equality Matters in Community Sponsorship: Considerations for Obtaining Feedback from Stakeholders was authored by Karen Smith, Carol Ballantine, Angham Younes and Zuhair Al Fakir. Nasc were delighted to collaborate with UCD School of Social Policy on this important piece of research which was funded by the Irish Research Council under the New Foundations Award. 

This report addresses the various forms of equality issues to be taken into account in relation to resettlement under Community Sponsorship and provides some lessons and guidance on mechanisms through which these issues can be identified and addressed, with a particular focus on attending to the experiences and views of resettled persons. 

The findings are also available in Arabic, here: https://youtu.be/edoBBGrYruc
