This country has a proud history of providing sanctuary to those in need. Our swift and generous response to the crisis in Afghanistan is no exception.
The Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy has relocated around 7,000 Locally Employed Staff and their family members since late June, while the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme will provide up to 20,000 people at risk with a safe and legal route to the UK.
