  7. Contrasts Between Settings Rural • Newer workers (seasonal) • Open, friendly, welcoming • Things are more spread out • Frequent qualifying moves (more straight-forward scenarios) • Seasonal farm work • Obtained qualifying work Urban • Both new and long term workers • Guarded and suspicious • Things are more concentrated • Infrequent qualifying moves (more complex scenarios) • Temporary Work • Qualify based on previous moves • Sought and unable to obtain

  8. Cont.,Contrasts Between Settings Rural • Qualifying activities are a little more predictable. • Work presently engaged in is usually the qualifying activity Urban • Work history of people in urban areas is more random and less predictable • If individual is eligible, eligibility is frequently based on a previous move

  9. Effective and thorough planning is the essence of successful urban ID&R

  15. Cultural Competency • In Karen society it is customary and normal for one to remove one’s shoes before entering someone’s house or home. • In a Nepalese home it would be considered rude to refuse food or drink that is offered. • For Burmese people, physical contact between a male and female outside of family is unusual. If a woman wishes to shake a male’s hand she will extend her hand. Otherwise there is no physical contact. • In Mexico, the regular word for “insect” is a very offensive word in Central America.

  16. Recruiter Safety is important in ID&R! • When possible work in teams/pairs • Have cell phone easily accessible all the time. Do not forget the car charger! • Have a regional maps for the area or have a GPS available. • Carry identification at all times. • Do not enter a structure that seems unsafe- presence of alcohol or drugs, intoxicated persons. • Inform your co-workers or supervisor in what area you are going to be and approximately how much time you will be there. • Look at the surroundings before getting out of the car. Check for people moving in and out of the house or adjacent units. • Follow your instincts; • Avoid possible dangerous areas. • Be aware of any illegal activities and/or pets in the premises such as guard dogs. • Record any incidents in your daily log, and inform the supervisor of any issues. This information can also serve as a training tool for recruiters.

  17. Safety Applications bSafe is free. You can set up your own personal safety network of friends or coworkers. Use Timer Mode to program an automatic alarm that will trigger if you have not checked in in time. Share locations to find each other more easily. Ask friends to walk you home with Follow Me’s live GPS trace. Companion lets you reach out to friends, co-workers or your local police and have them keep an eye on you when you're on the move. Watch Over Me- letsyou specify how long you want it to track your GPS location, until you check in from your intended destination. If you fail to do so, it sends an emergency alert to your chosen contacts. SafeTrek keeps you company while you arrive at your destination. You hold down the safe button and when you arrive you release the button and enter your 4 digit pin.

  18. Be prepared! Parking: Be careful not to block anyone in, or to park in a place that is off limits- Ex: School Parking Lots, Farm Driveways, Private Driveways, Apt. Parking Lots. ID: Wear your ID when appropriate! But Not when you sense that it may intimidate someone. Like; • It may look too official to a farm owner • It may look investigative to a parent • It may seem like law enforcement to an OSY • It may appear to represent an inspector at a Restaurant or Factory.

  19. Adjust your speech according to: • Non-Ag Facilities (Restaurant Owner/Factory) • ABCD Staff • Migrant Clinic Staff • Other Programs (WIC/Literacy Volunteers) • Parent • Farmer • Businesses • OSY • School District Official

  20. Strategies for Effective Urban ID&R • Based on research, map and chart target areas and locations to visit. • Develop a thorough understanding of local MEP services and community resources available. • Maintain a contact sheet to document relevant visits and interactions. • Leave time each day to follow up on leads from previous visits. • Have your ID available so that you can always provide professional credentials if they are requested. • Dress casually and comfortably- neat and appropriate but not too formal • Be creative, persistent, and adaptable- the most promising leads often come through accident and coincidence. • Make enough brochures and flyers. • Be Safe-Avoid visits late at night The key to successful Urban ID&R is talk to everyone!
