Abstract

Wales has been committed to receiving asylum seekers and resettling refugees in towns and cities, and these numbers are increasing on a yearly basis. However, many people seeking asylum feel disempowered by the disabling policies of the Home Office, leading to social and economic hardship for this population. This qualitative study aimed to capture the voices of this under-served group through in-depth, semi structured interviews to gain contextual understanding of the social and psychological challenges experienced by people seeking asylum in Wales. The findings suggest that many asylum seekers and refugees relied on their social support networks to compensate for the limited welfare offered to them by the asylum system. Changes to the asylum process and policies are needed for Wales to achieve its goal of ensuring that people seeking asylum are supported to rebuild their lives and make a full contribution to the Welsh society.

在英国寻求庇护的人处境艰难。一点都不容易":探索在威尔士寻求庇护的社会和心理影响。
威尔士一直致力于接收寻求庇护者并在城镇和城市重新安置难民,而且这些人数还在逐年增加。然而,许多寻求庇护者因内政部的限制性政策而感到无能为力,导致这一群体陷入社会和经济困境。这项定性研究旨在通过深入的半结构化访谈,了解威尔士寻求庇护者所经历的社会和心理挑战,从而捕捉到这一未得到充分服务的群体的心声。研究结果表明,许多寻求庇护者和难民依靠他们的社会支持网络来弥补庇护制度为他们提供的有限福利。威尔士需要改变庇护程序和政策,以实现其目标,即确保寻求庇护者得到支持,重建生活并为威尔士社会做出全面贡献。
