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

全球人口流动是当代生活的一个日益增长的特征。在英国，政策和媒体关注的是需要控制所有类型的移民和/或可能的非法移民。例如，特雷莎·梅在2012年表示，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，如卫生保健专业人员，已经负责检查个人的移民证件和享受服务的权利，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，国家边界的做法越来越多地延伸到日常生活中，这可以被称为“日常边界”。在这种敌对的气氛中，职业实践面临着越来越大的压力，可能会导致所有移民都会受到他们接触的一系列专业人士的怀疑。英国有关家庭团聚的立法也越来越多地受到一系列条件的制约，移民家庭成员可能有复杂的家庭法律情况，影响他们获得服务的资格。因此，在社会照料环境中与移民家庭合作的从业人员旨在向家庭提供有效的支持，但也可能在法律上有义务颁布移民管制做法。然而，很少有人注意到这些社会护理从业者如何就“日常生活”的要求进行谈判，以及这对与他们共事的移民家庭的经历有何影响。该项目旨在研究‘日常接壤’的做法是否在多大程度上以及以何种方式渗透到从事移民家庭工作的社会护理专业中，并将考虑这些做法的应对措施是否以及如何影响移民家庭获得支助的方式。该项目将通过与向移民家庭提供社会关怀和支助的三个机构的从业人员合作并比较他们的经验来审查这些问题。为了确保考虑到一系列的体验，并检查地理位置对‘日常接壤’的影响，这些机构将设在英格兰北部的三个城市地区：谢菲尔德、唐卡斯特和赫尔。在为期一年的时间里，研究人员将：审查相关政策和专业准则；花时间观察从业人员与移民家庭之间的互动；开展重点小组和与从业人员的访谈；以及采访移民家庭成员，包括儿童。该项目的发现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者、政策制定者、记者、运动团体、移民家庭和从事移民家庭工作的非政府组织，这些组织具有不同的背景。调查结果还将为富有成效的专业实践提供参考，不仅可供政府使用，还可供可能寻求影响这一领域政策的第三部门组织使用。

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.
