As part of the MIF programme a number of Issue Based Workshops will take place. The overarching aim of these workshops is to identify key issues effecting the integration of Migrants and New Communities.

These workshops aim to enhance knowledge among front line services and increase service access at the same time reducing costs.

Workshops will be held at community level, such as community centres and other places that are accessible to Migrants and New Communities.

The workshops will include invited professional speakers, and locally trusted Community Based Champions, and would cover the following topics:

• Safety in the home (including Safeguarding Children)
• Managing/understanding utility bills (reducing costs, reducing debts, protecting the environment)
• Legal responsibilities & the Law (driving without a license, using drugs etc)
• Housing rights & responsibilities (know your rights & fulfill your responsibilities)
• Building trust & respect within communities (promoting community cohesion & integration)
