THE REFUGEE, ASYLUM, MIGRATION AND POLICY (RAMP) PROJECT
Our vision is to have a world-class migration system which helps to create a successful and integrated UK and is fair to all.
What we do
We help politicians to think more deeply and collaborate more widely on migration, asylum and integration issues to improve the quality and quantity of political debate and subsequent policy outcomes. We do this primarily by seconding high-quality advisers into the teams of a cross-party group of politicians and by acting as the secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Migration.
We value trusted, open and relational dialogue; evidenced-based debate; a diversity of opinion and experience; and broad coalitions which bring together unusual allies across different sector and parts of the political spectrum.
Working in Parliament
RAMP works with a diverse group of parliamentarians in the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Our Principals are supported by a dedicated adviser and our Associates receive more ad hoc support. We provide regular briefings to members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Migration and help them to organise events, visits and roundtable discussions to deepen their understanding of a wide range of policy areas.

Our People
We are an independent not-for-profit organisation and have a small team to manage the project. Our board is made up of people with deep professional expertise in a wide range of relevant fields. Our advisers provide research support on each politician’s priority areas to help them to speak in to debates to make regular, constructive and, where possible, collaborative/cross-party contributions to political and public discussions on migration, asylum and refugee policy.
Working with Metro Mayors
The Metro Mayors Programme aims to support regional leaders in shaping policies that foster community inclusion, cohesion, and opportunity. By embedding expert policy advisors within the offices of metro mayors and combined authorities, we help city-regions develop innovative, locally-driven solutions that respond to the unique challenges and opportunities of migration in their localities.
At a time when devolution is expanding and cities are playing an ever-greater role in shaping the national agenda, our programme ensures that metro mayors have the tools, insights and networks to build stronger, more inclusive communities.
