Refugee Week

Refugee Week, 15-21 June, promotes greater awareness of refugees, the issues they face, and the contributions refugees are making to the Australian community.

Do you reflect on your own bias and perceptions of refugees and asylum seekers?
How do you link families with local refugee and asylum seeker supports, and community programs?
What reasonable adjustments might be required to support children from a refugee background?
