Press office

Our experienced media team can help with media enquiries about asylum and refugee issues. We work with journalists in print, TV, radio and online and can also help filmmakers. We are happy to assist local, national and international outlets.

The team can facilitate interviews with the Refugee Council's own spokespeople and experts, with asylum seeker and refugee clients, and with representatives of refugee community groups. Wherever possible we will help with filming and sound recording requests. We can also provide authoritative background information and statistics.
