Urgent Update from WRC – 20 March 2020

As you are aware, the ongoing coronavirus crisis means that many of us are having to change the way we work.

We are committed to prioritising the safety, health and well-being of our service users, volunteers and staff during this challenging time. We are focusing on providing our essential services to  asylum seekers and refugees and have  scaled back our non-urgent functions.

From Tuesday 24^th March we have been operating a telephone only system. The phone line will be available from 10am – 2pm.

If you, or someone you are supporting, needs to speak to one of our team members about the following issues they should call free on:

0808 196 7273

The call will be triaged by one of our team and if we are able to help they will be called back by one of our experienced caseworkers. If an interpreter is required we will do our best to have an interpreter available on the phone.

This is a freephone number, but we would suggest people firstly seek help from Migrant Help, Jobcentre Plus or another organisation offering a freephone number.

We have created a directory of resources to help ESOL learners at this time which can be found online here.

We have also made available our Hate Crime information leaflets in a number of languages, and English and Arabic audio recordings here. 

Thank you for your understanding during this challenging time and we look forward to being able to reopen our services as soon as it is safe to do so.

Best wishes and keep safe,

WRC

If you are an asylum seeker or refugee, you can get face to face advice and support from our expert caseworkers in our offices in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Wrexham.
