A set of mythbusting leaflets has been developed to give some facts and bust a few of the common myths about Gypsies and Travellers, Migrant Workers and Refugees and Asylum Seekers.  The leaflets provide some facts about the three community groups and the role they play in the life of the county.

The leaflets are intended to provide information that will be useful and informative to the general public, frontline staff in organisations across the county and for councillors as part of their work in the community. 

These leaflets have been developed on behalf of partner organisations in Suffolk to promote increased understanding between communities. 

The Forum for Refugees, Asylum Seekers and New and Emerging Communities is a multi-agency forum that includes representatives from the district and borough councils, the county council, police, PCT, and voluntary and community groups that work directly with these communities.  This Forum has supported the development of the leaflets.
