Refugee Workspace

After the initial intake is completed and a refugee record is established in the system, the Case Management phase begins. The Refugee Workspace is designed to assist in this effort by organizing activities into two main menu categories: Refugee Information and Refugee Coordination.

Each category allows for the performance of specific case management tasks.
This article will guide you on how to navigate and execute various tasks within the Refugee Workspace.
