People who arrived in the UK through Homes for Ukraine or the Ukraine Family scheme must be supported to access longer-term housing, with a focus on access to the private rented sector.
The increase in monthly ‘thank you’ payments to hosts through Homes for Ukraine only takes effect after the Ukrainians have been in the UK for 12 months. This does little to address current pressures on costs of living or incentivise people to continue hosting in the short term.

2. Ask what they already know. Young people will have their own questions, understanding, and potential misconceptions about why people migrate and why they come to the UK.

The best way of reducing the number of people taking dangerous journeys to reach the UK is to create more safe ways for people to do it.
Yet for the vast majority, it is becoming harder and harder.

the Home Office is very clear that in order to claim asylum in the UK, a person has to be physically present here.
Yet there is no "asylum visa" to come to the UK to do this.

Many people don't need a visa to be able to travel to the UK - this is true of lots of nationalities. But for those most likely to be in need of international protection, people do.
You can make a difference. Here's five practical ways you can help #refugees and people seeking asylum - which will you pick?

The Nationality and Borders Bill has been passed by the UK Government. Read below the response by @BritishRedCross Chief Executive @MichaelAdamson5 [1/5]

"We believe a person’s need for protection and therefore their ability to claim asylum should be judged on the dangers they have faced and not on how they enter this country." [2/5]
"Alongside the recent announcement to remove people to Rwanda on a one-way ticket, there are ever increasing barriers to refugees receiving protection in the UK." [3/5]

It’s almost the last chance for parliamentarians to make our asylum system more compassionate.
But as it stands, the changes they’ve proposed could have devastating consequences for people seeking safety.

These changes all come under the Nationality and Borders Bill.
One of them includes treating people differently based on the way they arrived in the UK, without taking into account the dangers they may have fled.

Here @RedCrossPolicy we are profoundly concerned that the Government is proposing to send traumatised people half-way round the world, to Rwanda. People seeking asylum here in UK deserve compassion, not deportation 1/

We note the Prime Minister’s ambition to create a ‘world leading asylum system’ allowing ‘thousands’ to settle here through safe and legal routes. However he doesn’t say how many, from where and by when. 2/
Whilst the Government’s current resettlement schemes may show some generosity to people from Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine, we just don’t help enough people from other countries. This is often why people are risking their lives crossing the Channel. 3/
What's happening with the UK's asylum system? (Thread)
Right now the Government are discussing changes to the UK asylum system, that will make it almost impossible for women, men and children who need protection to seek refuge in the UK. ⬇

The changes restrict the support given to people based on how they arrived here. They create an unfair two-tier system, where someone's case and the support they receive is judged on how they arrived, rather than their need for protection. ⬇
This is an opportunity for us to create a fair, effective and compassionate approach to supporting refugees, who have faced some of the most traumatic experiences on the planet. ⬇
