Lesson Details
Key learning points
- There are many push factors that might force someone to leave their home e.g. climate, fear of persecution and war.
- Asylum seekers are formally seeking protection from another country. Not all asylum applications are granted.
- The process of seeking asylum can be lengthy. Asylum seekers have access to some support during this time.
- Asylum seekers and refugees can experience both support and hostility.
Common misconception
Asylum seekers and refugees are the same thing.
Asylum seekers are seeking safety but not yet granted leave to remain. Refugees were asylum seekers but have been allowed to remain in a country by the government as their claim has been assessed as credible.
