Syrian refugees can be granted protection as a result of an application for asylum, or through one of the UK’s refugee resettlement schemes.

The Home Office publishes data on the number of asylum grants made each year, broken down by nationality, in table as_01 (asylum, volume 1) of the quarterly Immigration Statistics release.

The Home Office also publishes data on the number of Syrians resettled each year, under the Vulnerable Person Resettlement Scheme, in table as_19 (asylum volume 4) of the quarterly Immigration Statistics release.
