The aim of this module is to equip reception officers with an understanding of how vulnerabilities influence reception needs.

This module focuses on the importance of incorporating the needs arising from applicants’ vulnerabilities into decisions and actions in reception. It also explains how to conduct an assessment of special reception needs with an applicant for international protection, and how to design and review personal reception plans in the context of existing and evolving vulnerabilities.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Describe the potential impact of specific vulnerabilities on reception needs

2. Assess applicants’ special reception needs by applying the three main steps of the needs assessment

3. Design and review asylum applicants’ personal reception plans in the context of existing and evolving vulnerabilities

This module is delivered through a blended learning methodology (online and face-to-face). Online learning contains learning activities that assess progress toward the learning outcomes, and face-to-face sessions focus on complex elements that require discussion.

In 2023, this module will be upgraded as part of the restructuring of the European Asylum Curriculum.
