This report provides information for Salusbury WORLD’s Shared Futures Project. It has been undertaken alongside consultations with refugee children and their peers, refugee parents and education practitioners (recorded in a separate document). The project aims to assist schools in welcoming refugee children and young people, promoting their well-being, and helping them and their families to become part of the community. Through research into the experiences of refugee children and families, and strategies and interventions that have successfully supported refugee integration, shared Futures can identify positive practice, develop guidance, and disseminate a range of innovative and creative approaches in schools and the community.
