“…As the group merged into another entity that was not itself delivering services, at the end of Stage 3 and into Stage 4, their relationship with other organizations and the state once again became supplementary to the plethora of other services that had then been established. This return to a supplementary relationship was also in part due to some volunteer fatigue associated with continuously ‘fighting’ to help the community and advocate for the needs of vulnerable individuals that they had identified, but failed to translate effectively for public sector prioritization and action (Grubb and Frederiksen 2021 ).…”

This research explores ways public service ecosystems developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on relationships between community-led mutual aid groups and the state. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus groups, and mobile ethnographic methods with 30 participants from the public sector and three mutual aid groups across Scotland. We show how relationships between mutual aid groups and the state – whether complementary, supplementary, or adversarial – shifted over the course of the pandemic. Our findings add nuance to understandings that presuppose mutual aid as antagonistic, highlighting ways that mutual aid groups may be brought into existing public service ecosystems.

“…However, they also show that CSOs' involvement should not be idealised and that there are some limitations to CSOs' activities that need to be considered. For example, extant studies suggest that some of the aims of CSOs are hindered due to their material dependency on the public sector in producing and delivering services (Grubb & Frederiksen, 2021). This is particularly risky in a contentious policy field such as migration, where there is a risk of funding discontinuity or potentially mission drift.…”

The Role of Civil Society in the Labour Market Integration of Migrants in Europe: An Introduction

2022

This paper serves as an introduction to a special issue that discusses the role of civil society in the labour market integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in six European countries: the Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. The paper presents a typology of civil society’s involvement in migrant labour integration—a policy-contested field—based on the relationship between non-profit and public sector organisations. Such ideal-type models are traditional public administration delivery, co-management, co-production with a partial or non-existent role for public sector organisations, and full co-production. In the six countries covered by the special issue, the existing relationship between the public sector and the civil society sector is affected by the specific social, cultural and economic contexts that underpin both their labour markets and welfare states. Although one model predominates in each of the six countries, in different ways and with different mechanisms, in all of them there is a trend towards the development of coproduction whereby the state plays either a central or a residual role.

“…Considering these definitions, some of the vulnerable populations identified in relevant literature are children (Bagattini 2019); people with disabilities (Scully 2013); deaf people; people with mental illnesses (Atkinson 2007); patients with dementia; elderly people; and migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers (Strokosch & Osborne 2016;Grubb & Frederiksen 2022). Mackenzie, Rogers, and Dodds (2013) posit that, as social and affective beings, we are emotionally and psychologically vulnerable to others in myriad ways: to loss and grief; to neglect, abuse, and lack of care; and to rejection, ostracism, and humiliation.…”

This contribution serves as the introductory framework for the articles featured in the special issue of Just. Journal of Language Rights and Minorities, Revista de Drets Lingüístics i Minories exploring interpreting for vulnerable populations. Noting the increasing interest in the role of interpreters who work with populations experiencing varying degrees of vulnerability in different settings, this introduction starts by examining some nuanced definitions and causes of vulnerability and the ways in which we are vulnerable to others. The guest editors then focus on language as an important element which can engender vulnerability and consider how interpreters play a pivotal role in mitigating this vulnerability when facilitating access to communication. They discuss how the articles in this special issue address the notion of vulnerability and the complex role of interpreters who work for specific categories of vulnerable populations in different institutional and geographical contexts. The articles describe the elements that interpreters must navigate when managing these challenging situations characterised by high stakes for the vulnerable person and often (highly) asymmetrical power dynamics and dependency.
