I would like to invite anyone with knowledge and
experience of the UK’s resettlement schemes for
vulnerable refugees to write to me with their views
and evidence regarding how these schemes are working.
I am particularly interested in hearing about the
reception and integration in the UK of those
individuals and families resettled under the
Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) and the
Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS), and
those resettled through the Community Sponsorship
Scheme.
This invitation is aimed at NGOs, academics, think
tanks, faith groups and representative bodies, as
well as resettled refugees.
If you wish to contribute, please email or write to
me by 13 December 2019.
Please note that my remit does not extend to
investigating individual cases. This remains a Home
Office responsibility. However, I am keen to hear
about individual cases, insofar as they serve to
illustrate particular points, issues or trends.
Before responding, you may wish to read my 2018
inspection report of the Vulnerable
Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS). While the
planned inspection is not intended as a reinspection
of VPRS it is likely to pick up on a number of the
themes from the earlier report.
