Unrest at an asylum centre: providing factual information and de-escalating the situation
Unrest can arise around an asylum seekers’ centre, fuelled by rumours and misinformation. CrisisRadar helps local authorities, security regions and the COA to provide residents with accurate information, de-escalate the situation and counter false reports.
What happens
A new reception centre for asylum seekers is to be set up in a local authority area. This is causing unease amongst some of the residents living near the site. Incorrect information is appearing on social media, and tensions are rising. Some posts are calling on people to gather around the reception centre. The local authority wants to prevent the situation from escalating. Residents need clear, factual information about what is happening and where they can go with any questions. At the same time, it is important to respond quickly to false reports and to maintain a consistent approach in collaboration with the COA, the police and the security region.
