Information Notice
What we’re trying to achieve with the survey: we are interested in understanding the experience of Muslims in the UK asylum system in order to identify unique issues they are facing.
This survey will take less than 5 minutes to complete. We will close the survey on 27th July 2023.
This questionnaire is anonymous. It does not ask for your name unless you opt to give this to us. Although we ask for some personal information in the survey, you do not have to answer those questions and we ask for your explicit consent before you complete them. We cannot identify you from the personal information we ask you about. The only way we would be able to identify you is if you consent to provide your contact information for further information on this research at the end of the survey.
You do not have to take part in the survey. You may withdraw from the survey at any time, without giving a reason.
The questionnaire is created and will be completed on a special survey software called SmartSurvey.

Thank you for taking part in this survey.
We want to hear about the experiences of Muslim asylum seekers and refugees in the UK asylum system.
While there is a lot of existing work being done surrounding human rights and Islamophobia in the UK, when it comes to refugees and the asylum system, knowledge of these areas remains severely narrow. Therefore, this survey is part of a broader research project examining how attacks on human rights and Islamophobia are experienced within the asylum system in the UK.
Ultimately, the research aims to:
- Contribute a better understanding of the challenges faced by Muslim asylum seekers.
- Highlight any potential opportunities for meaningful policy changes and reforms that could mitigate these challenges.
The findings, including any conclusions and recommendations from this project will be published in a report and reproduced in other advocacy materials, including but not limited to briefings, academic articles, presentations, and social media content.
