Who we are
Yorkshire and Humber Regional Migration Partnership is a regional organisation which works with national, regional and local government to ensure that the Yorkshire and Humber region of the UK can deal with, and benefit from, migration.
We work in partnership with all appropriate agencies across the statutory, voluntary, community and private sectors to help support the delivery of high quality services to migrants in a way that benefits everyone living in the region.
What we do
We have 5 key roles
Strategic leadership and coordination for the region around migration issues We convene and support the Strategic Migration Group, our executive policy group - the place where local authorities, statutory agencies and the voluntary sector get together to discuss how migration impacts on our region and to agree ways forward.
Management of the public sector asylum accommodation contract We coordinate the delivery of the agreement between 10 local authorities in this region [the ‘Public Sector Group’] and the Government for meeting the accommodation needs of asylum seekers.
Effective integration of refugees and other migrants We work at a regional level, coordinating the integration of asylum seekers and refugees through the Refugee Integration Programme. We also help individual refugees to access housing, services and employment, through the Refugee Integration and Employment Service.
Central support for local migration projects We coordinate and support all the local projects funded by the Migration Impacts Fund, to make sure that they learn from each other, share and develop effective ways of working, and publicise their work effectively in the region.
Intelligence and research We collate and share information about the nature and impacts of migration in the region, to help make sure that the needs of all migrant groups are met in local and regional strategies.
