With the dispersal of refugee children and their families around the country, many schools are welcoming them for the first time. Home from Home is a resource pack that provides guidance for the successful inclusion of refugee children and families into school. The materials are drawn from the experience of staff at Salusbury WORLD, a school-based refugee project in London.
The effective practice described in this pack will be relevant to primary and secondary teachers and teaching assistants, learning mentors, home-school liaison workers, educational psychologists and others.
The pack is divided into clearly signposted sections for quick and easy reference, covering:
- welcoming refugee children and their families to the school community
- preparing for new arrivals in the classroom
- helping refugee children become effective learners
- creating opportunities for parents to get involved
- developing play opportunities after school and in the holidays
- signposting advice and support in areas such as housing, health and immigration.
Each section contains detailed information on related resources, organisations and websites.
