The second destitution tally: an indication of thee extent of destitution among asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers and refugees

The second destitution tally survey took place between 1st and 31st October 2008, and aimed to capture statistics on destitution of asylum seekers throughout the UK by surveying visitors to agencies belonging to the Asylum Support Partnership.

The report is in two parts: the Executive Summary provides a brief overview of the research for policy makers, setting out the aim of the exercise, the key findings, conclusions and recommendations; and the Research Results section gives additional evidence to reinforce the key findings.

It gives detailed statistical tables and analysis based on the results of the survey, sets out the findings of other research into destitution, and gives more detail about the methodology used to conduct the second destitution tally.
