Multi-Agency Forums in East of England

What is a Multi-Agency Forum?

A Multi-Agency Asylum and Refugee Forum could simply be described as a round-table that brings together a variety of statutory, voluntary and community organisations to discuss asylum seeker and refugee issues.

As Multi-Agency Forums mainly focus on local issues, they essentially feature local representation. They may have no formal status, a relatively simple structure and little or no funding.
