The Ukraine Family Scheme (UFS) provides for Ukrainians to join their family members in the UK for three years, during which time they can work and access public services. This includes access to education services and benefits. These conditions have always been a part of the UFS since its inception on 4 March.

The routes and visa changes which we have announced so far follow extensive engagement with the Ukrainian Government to ensure they respond directly to their needs and asks. We will continue to work closely with them going forward. We are committed to working with local government and the devolved administrations to ensure appropriate arrangements are in place.
