Education Professionals Network

The Education Professionals Network is open to anyone working with refugee and asylum-seeking learners, including:

• Teachers, tutors and lecturers in schools, colleges and other education settings.

• Pastoral, inclusion, and safeguarding staff.

• Designated teachers or leads for pupils in care or with refugee backgrounds.

• Local authority, virtual school, and education support staff.

• Staff in community organisations who support young people with their education.

You do not need to have extensive experience in refugee education to join. If you are keen to learn and improve support for the young people you work with, you are welcome.

• Practical learning from our programmes with young people and practitioners.

• Short summaries of key developments affecting refugee and asylum-seeking learners.

• Online peer support sessions where you can share challenges and ideas with others.

• Occasional in-person events, where possible, to deepen learning and connection.

• Upcoming in-person and online training designed specifically for education professionals.
