The University of Sheffield declared itself a University of Sanctuary as part of the emergence of the movement in Sheffield. The University of Sanctuary stream has since been fully established and there is now set criteria and we ask Universities to submit an application for assessment by a panel (see the Awards section above or the handbook available in the Resources section).
