Local authorities receive a generous funding package for the support they provide for refugees resettled under the UK Resettlement Scheme.

The overall package also includes additional ESOL funding to improve the English language skills of adults and helping support better employability and integration outcomes. This package enables local authorities to support refugees as they rebuild their lives in safe and secure surroundings, among supportive communities in the UK.

The Home Office does not provide any digital devices, so any provision would be separate from Government, as such we do not hold this information.
