This research was commissioned by Liverpool City Council in July 2008 and was conducted by a team of researchers from the Salford Housing & Urban Studies Unit (SHUSU) at the University of Salford. The study was greatly aided by research support from a number of community interviewers and was managed by a steering group composed of officers representing the commissioning authorities. The study had two primary objectives: to scope numbers of migrant workers in Liverpool; and to identify the needs of migrant workers in Liverpool, focusing on employment needs but with a view to wider service provision issues and community cohesion
