Refugee resettlement schemes

The UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS)

This scheme supports vulnerable people from around the world. The UNHCR assess and refers people based on their needs and vulnerabilities. They are matched to suitable accommodation across UK councils.

Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP)

The government created this policy to offer relocation for Afghan citizens who worked as locally employed servicemen, supporting British troops in Afghanistan. Many of these were personnel and interpreters.

The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS)

The ACRS provides a safe route for Afghan citizens, with priority for those who assisted the efforts of the UK and stood up for British values.
