The Outcomes Star for Refugees

Copyright: Triangle Consulting Social Enterprise Limited

The Integration Star is designed for use with refugees needing support to integrate into their new country and to build a new life there.

I like the way it opens up the conversation and gives you a reason to discuss different aspects of a client’s life, which can help identify issues that may not have otherwise been raised.

It was a very good, comprehensive discussion of crucial aspects of one’s life and challenges.

Completing an Integration Star has an empowering effect in that it gives clients a real idea of their progress and helps them to identify goals to work towards.

The Integration Star was developed by Triangle during 2020 with collaboration from the Refugee Council, Triangle would also like to thank the following partner organisations and Refugee Community Organisations for their participation:

RETAS (Refugee Education Training Advice Service) Leeds, Leeds Refugee Forum, Path Yorkshire, Goodwin Development Trust, Humber Community Advice Services (H-CAS), Refugee Action Kingston, Iranian Association, Diversity Living Services, Bahar Women’s Association, Action for Community Development, West Yorkshire Somali Association, DAMASQ, Stepping Stone 4 and Leeds Swahili Community. This project is part funded by the European Union Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund.

The Integration Star covers eight areas:

1. Housing
2. Money
3. Practical English
4. Education and work
5. Family and children
6. Community and connections
7. Laws, systems and services
8. Health and well-being

Full resources are available for organisations with a Star Licence and training for all workers and managers using the Star. We are also actively researching into the psychometric properties of the Integration Star and Star data and intend on publishing a factsheet for this Star. Contact us for more information.
