Welcome to the home page for the Newly Arrived, Refugee and Asylum Seeker Team website.

The team consists of:

Gill Rathbone - Team Co-ordinator
Sandy Nott - Advisory Teacher (Primary specialist)
Barbera Gasper - Advisory Teacher (Secondary specialist)
Rekha Kanda - Language support assistant

 

The team aims to support any School in Sandwell that admits Newly Arrived, Refugee or Asylum Seeker pupils. We do this through delivering training tailored to meet the needs of the individual schools and audiences, advisory teaching, producing documents and resources for use in the classroom, advising schools on new laws and legislation and networking with other professional and voluntary groups to support the child and family.

Additional Agencies to support newly arrived families in Sandwell are available across the borough. Click here to view a list of these agencies.
