❌ Myth “Organisations shouldn’t involve asylum seekers due to risk.”

✅ Fact: There is no rule preventing organisations from involving asylum seekers in volunteering.

There may be practical considerations:

• DBS checks can be more complex

• Some additional support may be needed

👉 Barriers exist — but they are manageable.

With the right approach, organisations can create safe, inclusive opportunities for everyone.
