UK asylum and migration policy: A briefing from the Joint Public Issues Team January 2023

Asylum has been a hot political topic in recent years. However, debates often seem to focus on refugees and asylum seekers as a problem to be managed or dealt with, and forget that at the heart of the matter are people on the move, who are often highly vulnerable.
This briefing seeks to put the current debates in context, explore what a Christian response to these issues might look like, and point towards the steps that could be taken to build a fairer and more compassionate asylum system.
