We facilitated open discussion and generated informed contributions by sharing relevant information at every stage of the process with our partner group giving stakeholders opportunity to scrutinise, co-create and legitimise recommendations demonstrating objectivity and flexibility to reshape and re-frame their work in response to asylum policy changes.</p><p>This review and design phase was completed in March 2023. In April 2023 we launched the next phase of the programme, this work will continue until March 2025.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 26/07/2023 15:27:35 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
