Get the story straight

Everyone?s talking about immigration right now. The media are ramping up the headlines ? but should you believe the facts and figures?

Over the next few months, we?ll be fact-checking news stories about refugees and asylum seekers. Every year, we support 10,000 people who?ve had to flee their countries and homes, after horrific experiences.

They deserve the facts ? and so do you.

Together, let?s get the story straight.

Here?s how:

Send us any good or bad articles you find ? read this guidance from the National Union of Journalists, if you?re not sure.

Look at our fortnightly blogs, when we?ll give your stories a sense-check.

Still unsure about the issue? Tell us if there?s something you?d like to understand a bit better. You can reach us at [email protected] or tweet us with the hashtag #factsnotfear.
