This Way for English (TW4E) is a programme which aims to engage with refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to assess English language ESOL needs as well as identify more holistic needs. During the COVID crisis we have changed our mode of operation and now provide online assessments. If you would like to refer yourself or someone else for an assessment please send a Direct Message (DM) to this page.
Once participants have been assessed they can be referred free Migration Team ZOOM ESOL classes at an appropriate level. Or to other programs that are available in Kirklees.
Telephone Welcome Mentors Programme
Refugees, asylum seekers, and recent migrants are often very vulnerable when they arrive in our communities. They can lack language skills, cultural knowledge and support networks which means that they can struggle to access services and integrate. The Welcome Mentor programme has been developed to offer a volunteer befriending service in Kirklees to reduce isolation and break down some of the barriers that people experience. During COVID this programme has moved to telephone support. Support can be requested through a simple form here https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=OdfwqFaqBUyxf1gJOvfVagcsvQp1WqdKvg3skjb-OipURjI4UUJQMkJOVzA0V1Q1WUxZQTNZSUxaMCQlQCN0PWcu
The TSL Migration team will recruit and train volunteers, match them with someone to work with, and give them ongoing support and training.
