Background Information: There remains a continued need to support the resettlement of refugees travelling to the UK through safe and legal humanitarian routes such as the UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP), and Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS). A pledge to support the resettlement of refugees will allow the Council to remain flexible to the needs of displaced people.
