'Everyday Bordering' in the UK: the impact on social care practitioners and the migrant families with whom they work.

人口的全球流动是当代生活日益突出的特征。在英国，政策和媒体关注的重点是需要控制所有类型的移民和/或可能的“非法”移民。例如，在2012年，特蕾莎·梅（Theresa May）表示，保守党领导的政府旨在通过拒绝非法移民获得工作、住房、服务和银行账户，故意创造一个“敌对环境”。随后，虽然一些公务员，如医疗保健专业人员，已经负责检查一个人的移民文件和获得服务的权利，但2014年和2016年的《移民法》将这些责任扩大到那些不担任公职的人，如房东和银行职员。因此，国家边界实践越来越多地延伸到日常生活中，这可以被称为“日常边界”。在这种敌对的气氛下，专业工作受到越来越大的压力，可能导致所有移徙者受到与他们接触的一系列专业人员的怀疑。与家庭团聚有关的联合王国立法也日益受到一系列条件的制约，移民家庭成员可能有复杂的家庭和法律情况，影响他们获得服务的资格。因此，在社会护理环境中与移民家庭合作的从业人员旨在为家庭提供有效的支持，但也可能在法律上有义务制定移民控制措施。然而，很少有人关注这些社会关怀从业者如何协商“日常边界”要求，以及这如何影响与他们一起工作的移民家庭的经历。本项目旨在研究“日常边界”实践是否、在多大程度上以及以何种方式渗透到与移民家庭一起工作的社会护理专业中，并将考虑这些实践反应是否以及如何影响移民家庭获得支持的方式。该项目将通过与三家为移民家庭提供社会关怀和支持的机构的从业人员合作并比较他们的经验来研究这些问题。为了确保考虑到一系列的经验，并检查位置对“日常边界”的影响，这些机构将位于英格兰北部的三个城市地区：谢菲尔德、唐卡斯特和赫尔。在为期一年的研究期间，研究人员将：审查相关政策和专业指南；花时间观察从业者和移民家庭之间的互动；与从业人员进行焦点小组和访谈；并采访移民家庭的成员，包括儿童。该项目的研究结果将引起学院以外的观众的兴趣。这些组织包括但不限于代表从业人员、政策制定者、记者、运动团体、移民家庭以及与来自不同背景的移民家庭合作的非政府组织。调查结果还将为富有成效的专业实践提供信息，不仅可以为政府所用，也可以为可能寻求影响该领域政策的第三部门组织所用。

The global movement of people is a growing feature of contemporary life. In the UK, policy and the media focus on the need to control all types of immigration and/or the possible 'illegality' of migrants. In 2012, for example, Theresa May stated that the Conservative-led Government aimed to deliberately create a 'hostile environment' by denying illegal immigrants access to work, housing, services and bank accounts. Subsequently, whilst some public servants, such as health care professionals, were already responsible for checking a person's immigration documents and entitlement to services, the 2014 and 2016 Immigration Acts extended these responsibilities to those that do not hold public office, such as, landlords and bank clerks. State bordering practices, therefore, extend increasingly into everyday life and this can be referred to as 'everyday bordering'. In this hostile atmosphere, professional practice comes under increased pressure, potentially resulting in all migrants being viewed with suspicion by a range of professionals with whom they come into contact. UK legislation relating to family reunification is also increasingly subject to a range of conditions and migrant family members can have complex familial, legal circumstances that impact on their eligibility to access services. Practitioners that work with migrant families in social care settings, thereby, aim to provide families with effective support, but may also be legally obliged to enact practices of immigration control. Little attention has, however, been given to the ways in which these social care practitioners negotiate 'everyday bordering' requirements and how this impacts on the experiences of migrant families with whom they work. This project aims to examine whether, to what extent, and in what ways, practices of 'everyday bordering' permeate social care professions working with migrant families and will consider if and how these practice responses impact on the ways in which migrant families experience support. The project will examine these questions by collaborating with and comparing experiences of practitioners working in three agencies that provide social care and support to migrant families. To ensure a range of experiences are considered, and to examine the influence of location on 'everyday bordering', these agencies will be located in three urban areas in the North of England: Sheffield, Doncaster and Hull. During a one-year period, researchers will: review relevant policy and professional guidelines; spend time observing interactions between practitioners and migrant families; conduct focus groups and interviews with practitioners; and interview members of migrant families, including children. Findings of the project will be of interest to audiences beyond the academy. These include, but are not limited to, organisations representing practitioners, policy makers, journalists, campaign groups, migrant families, and NGOs working with migrant families from a range of backgrounds. Findings will also inform productive professional practices and can be used not only by government but also by third sector organisations who may seek to influence policy in this area.
