This webinar explores the experiences of migrants in Wales in settling in their communities, and the practical actions that the Welsh Government, local authorities, charities and others should take to increase integration.
This webinar was run in line with the publication of our new report: Shared ground: integrating migrants in Wales
We would like to thank the Paul Hamlyn Foundation who has funded this important work.

Claire joined the Bevan Foundation in June 2019 after working at Opinion Research Services for nearly ten years as a qualitative researcher. During her time there Claire worked on a variety of projects including managing the qualitative work on Gypsy and Traveller Housing Needs Assessments.
In 2006 Claire graduated with a PhD in Political Science at Swansea University. Her thesis examined the provision of and delivery of services for asylum seekers dispersed under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 in Swansea and Cardiff and the relationship between local authorities, the Welsh and UK Government and the private sector.
Claire is currently looking at migration and integration in Wales, exploring whether Wales would benefit from having an integration strategy.
