Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many asylum liaison officers are currently in post in the Home Office, and whether there are any plans for further recruitment to support newly recognised refugees through the move-on process.

The Home Office is working to make sure individuals have the support they need to integrate and work following a positive asylum decision and to help local authorities better plan their assistance to those individuals.

Support for newly recognised refugees is available through Migrant Help and their partners, which includes advice on how to work and support themselves with housing.

A new team of Asylum Move On Liaison Officers (AMLOs) is being operationalised to work with individuals at the start of the Move On process alongside Migrant Help to ensure a successful Move On. A virtual AMLO support team will be created to provide data and support to local authorities. The teams will work nationally when they are fully set up.
