19 Entitlements 19
20 Entitlements DISCONTINUED 20
21 Confusions over entitlements Individuals receiving invoices, credit notes and debt recovery notices for tuitions fees charged at overseas student rates for college (FE) and university (HE) courses Student Finance (Loans and Grants, ALG, EMA etc) are wrongfully denied to individuals entitled to receive it. Nursing bursaries refused to refugee Nursing degree students. Student Finance denied to individuals joining on Family Reunion e.g. those with Indefinite Leave to Enter (rather than Indefinite Leave to Remain) Students (ASs) refused admissions to FE courses (because they wont be able to access HE courses) Volunteering opportunities denied (CRBs are difficult to come through) Work placements are not offered to individuals (even to those for whom it is part of their degree programme) Universities denying places to refugees with Limited Leave to Remain (5 years) Refugee Skills, Experience and Employment: Overcoming Barriers; Minkesh Sood, DPIA 21
22 Converting Qualifications and experience 22
23 Recognising Prior Learning (RPL) Frustrations with NARIC for converting qualifications Welsh Government tasked WRC in partnership with DPIA to raise awareness of Credit and Qualification Framework Wales and explore pathways for the recognition of prior learning for new arrivals in Wales. The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a method of identifying any recent and relevant learning (knowledge and skills) or experience, which could be recognised and accredited to avoid a person repeating a course or learning programme. In Wales, this is carried out via the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales. Currently assisting 6 refugees to go through the RPL Process in Care, Retail and Construction sector with support from NTfW through work based training providers namely; A4E, Acorn and TSW. RPL comprises following stages: 1. Skill scan and assessment of skills, knowledge and experience, 2. Accreditation of prior learning using CQFW (credits and units) 3. Identifying gaps in skills (between what they possess and what is demanded by the employers) 4. Provision of training and supported work experience 5. Possibly leading to sustained employment. 23
24 Recognising Prior Learning (RPL) Initial findings from the Pilot are very encouraging. Two refugee candidates who had previous experience in the retail industry from their country of origin and had further volunteered here since coming to the UK were supported. They both underwent the RPL process in Feb-Mar. The process was facilitated by DPIA and assessment was completed by Acorn Learning Solutions. Both the candidates achieved Level 2 qualification in Retail with a total of 11 units accredited between them. The pilot is being extended to Care and Construction sectors with support from A4E and TSW respectively - RPL process has potential and can be applied to the benefit of Migrants as well. - Explore RPL through CQFW with the FE/HE Institutions. 24
25 Engaging with Employers and mainstream agencies Since June 2011 Partnerships developed with more than 20 organisations in third and statutory sector. Referrals from more than dozen agencies. Refugee Awareness Training delivered to a total of 79 front line staff and managers of public sector agencies (JCP, CW, LAs). Same training delivered to 196 members of staff from various employers in all the sectors. Refugee education and employment related advice provided to 24 other organisations. A small piece of research is being undertaken by Ginger Wiegand of DPIA under the Refugee Employment Project and is a work in progress at the moment. 25
