Approval for Participation in the UK Resettlement Scheme
The current Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) will reach its natural end in March/April 2020. The UK Government has announced its intention to introduce the UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), to enable resettlement beyond 2020. The replacement scheme will have a wider geographical focus, and will enable the resettlement up to 5000 of the most vulnerable refugees during the first year, from wherever the humanitarian need is greatest.
Local Authorities are asked to offer places in support of the new scheme.
