Kurdish refugees are able to access the same support to integrate into UK society as all refugees. Refugees are currently given the same access to the labour market and benefits as UK citizens, as well as access to English language training. Refugees are also eligible to receive a dedicated integration loan designed to help refugees integrate into UK society by offering financial support towards housing costs, employment and training.
