Vision and values
Our Vision
Yorkshire and Humber is a region where refugees feel safe and welcome, rebuild their lives, fulfil their aspirations, and contribute to the social, economic and cultural life of the communities where they live
The vision is complemented by a set of values that define us as a region and inform everything that we do to enable refugee integration, including our services, policies and attitudes towards refugees and asylum seekers. The values help us tackle the barriers to integration by reminding us of what is at stake when people fleeing war and persecution rebuild their lives in Yorkshire and Humber.
