The Migrant Information Hub aims to offer useful information and resources to help migrants, and those supporting them, to stay safe, connected and informed, and to reduce the harmful impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Hub is made and managed by Migration Yorkshire, working with national and local government and others to ensure that Yorkshire and Humber can deal with, and benefit from, migration.

The hub is organised into these main sections:

National Guidance

This section provides information on current health guidance from all government departments and the World Health Organization. Information about coronavirus and staying safe is available in different languages.

News and updates

This section covers news about coronavirus that is specifically relevant to migrants and about new tools and resources available.

Local services and support

• Specific migrant issues: information and tools for people with different experiences of migration, such as asylum seekers, refugees, EU migrants
• Multilingual resources: resources on various topics in community languages
• How to help migrants (coming soon): information and tools to help organisations, professionals, and neighbours supporting migrants through the disruption, impact and challenges of coronavirus
• Migrant sector support (coming soon): tools to help professionals and organisations across the sector to adapt, stay resilient and understand and respond to emerging needs

The hub will be expanded to ensure people with different needs, and people in different roles, can access the national, regional and local information they need as easily as possible. This will include adding resources in different languages and addressing issues that migrants and migrant supporting groups and organisations are facing as a result of coronavirus.

People are invited to share resources, and the issues and needs they identify in the region, in order to pool resources. Shared resources will be linked to and credited.
