Summary/Abstract: It is generally argued that not all members of the society are being treated equally in the UK because some people face various barriers in accessing vital public services and lack opportunities. Although there are many people having such disadvantages, some migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers are being left further behind because they face certain barriers, and they do not benefit from equal opportunities in the society. This study has focused on the experience of Turkish Immigrants, who are a diverse group whose members have experienced a range of problems and inequalities due to their immigration status and complex and tough immigration policies, over the last five decades. However, not much is known about Turkish immigrants and their immigration patterns1, and thus equally little is known about their integration into the British society and their contribution to social, economic and political life.
