Migrant Communities’ Needs Assessment

Migrant communities’ needs assessment : survey

The Irish Cancer Society seeks to support all people living with and beyond cancer. Inclusivity is a core value of our  Strategic Plan. We would like to learn about the experiences, needs and challenges facing migrants from all backgrounds when looking to access healthcare services in Ireland.  The research aims to help inform policy and practical recommendations for Government and health services to meet the needs of migrant communities.

The Irish Cancer Society has commissioned TASC –  Think Tank for Action on Social Change, a public education charity – to research the needs of migrants/migrant communities living in Ireland. TASC will conduct a survey, interviews and focus groups.
