Praxis are offering free training, Supporting Migrants in Temporary Accommodation, which has been co-produced with our service users and is being delivered by them, for local authorities in London.

Supporting Migrants in Temporary Accommodation

This workshop equips social workers, housing officers, asylum and resettlement teams, and frontline practitioners with the skills and confidence to better support migrants living in temporary accommodation. The workshop is offered free of charge and is currently funded by Trust for London’s Temporary Accommodation Alliance programme.

The training covers essential immigration terminology (including NRPF and the 10-year settlement route), the lived realities of temporary accommodation, and practical, trauma-informed approaches to support. With immigration rules changing frequently and new challenges emerging across the sector, this training provides timely and grounded insight to help teams offer safe, appropriate and effective support to migrant families and individuals.

This is an engaging and practical workshop rooted in lived experience. The training is co-designed and co-delivered by people with lived experience as migrants and refugees, and temporary accommodation. You will receive information and tools to make a meaningful difference.

The offer is flexible:

  • 2-hour core in-person training covers foundational information about migration, lived experience perspectives, case studies, and practical problem solving.
  • 3-hour extended in-person training includes an additional module on using the Migrant’s Guide, accessing key local/national resources, and strengthening signposting pathways.
