Ukraine Response Team

Categories

Social Services (health and social care) assessment, Benefits, Employment, Family and Relationships, Immigration, Families with children, Housing and homelessness, Debt and money, Food Aid, Other Issues

Description

Ukraine Response Team has been launched in March 2022 to support Ukrainian refugees who reside in the borough under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme and their sponsor. We also coordinate a range of support for Ukrainian refugees in partnership with our multidisciplinary partners and professional network. Our team is specifically funded to oversee support to Ukrainians who are here under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, however we are also able to offer general support and advice to any other Ukrainian who lives in the borough as a result of fleeing the war in Ukraine. The team does not offer emergency assistance or statutory intervention, and our approach is to encourage Ukrainian refugees to access “business as usual” services and wider support available in the borough that they are fully entitled to. If your services become aware of any Ukrainian residents who present to be in need of advice or assistance, we would like to ask that you share information about these residents with our team so that we could check if they are already known to us and to ensure effective information sharing and partnership working in relation to these clients. If you have any questions, please contact Ukraine Response Team on 07971 026278 before making the referral.
