ABSTRACT

This chapter will consider how attachment relationships within families may develop within the context of forced transnational migration. It draws upon interviews with three families who are settling in the UK under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (SVPRS). The chapter reflects upon their experiences using the Multidimensional Ecosystemic Comparative approach as a frame. The chapter explores how the participants are constructing safety and security for their families by developing ways of preserving essential themes of faith, culture, and language, while learning to adopt new practices and to negotiate across social differences.
