Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps are being taken to ensure counselling services for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are provided in their native language.

The UK is working closely with our partners to provide targeted protection services to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, including through a network of local organisations which help people to access services in a language they can easily understand, including in local dialects. We are also providing translators where needed. Examples of the help being provided includes psychosocial and psychological support for 7,500 children, and supporting the Red Cross to provide family-linking and family-tracing services.
