London global refugees city2/1/2024 This is a substantial undertaking: councils must provide an initial welcome, housing, relevant social care support, and assistance with English language provision and social integration. While these are national government programmes, in fact it is local authorities who are responsible for providing support to resettled refugees. Individuals resettled through Gateway must have been living in a protracted refugee situation for over five years, unless there is an urgent need for resettlement (e.g. The Gateway Protection programme aims to resettle 750 refugees per (financial) year. The scheme is open to refugees of all nationalities. The scheme is accessible to all ‘children and adolescents at risk’ as defined by UNHCR, which encompasses unaccompanied children as well as those in families or with care-givers (an adult who UNHCR is satisfied has assumed legitimate responsibility for the child). The VCRS is open to vulnerable children and their families in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, where UNHCR deem resettlement to be in the best interests of the child. The VCRS is a commitment from the UK to resettle up to 3,000 children and their families from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by 2020.
