Are you a practitioner passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people who have arrived seeking sanctuary?
Do you believe in collaboration, shared learning, and driving meaningful change?
Then the Ubuntu NI Practitioners Network is for you. Become part of a growing community committed to supporting not only children and young people seeking sanctuary, but also the wider communities in which they live.
Ubuntu is a service that supports refugee and asylum-seeking families to build vital connections and to thrive within their new communities. A core part of the Ubuntu model is the creation of a multi‑agency regional network where professionals come together to share intelligence, strengthen practice, and build joint solutions that respond to real needs on the ground. Together, we knit together expertise, align goals, and advocate for a better, more connected system.
