Refugees: Disability

(asked on 25th May 2022) - View Source

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, and if so how, they are assessing the numbers of refugees with disabilities arriving in the UK.


This question was answered on 13th June 2022

The Home Office provides resettlement solely on the basis of needs, identified by UNHCR. Details of a refugeeā€™s vulnerabilities and additional needs are captured by UNHCR and provided to the Home Office in order to assist us securing resettlement with a local authority.

Information on the number of visas granted under the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Homes for Ukraine Scheme can be found in our published data on the GOV.UK webpage: Ukraine Family Scheme and Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme (Homes for Ukraine) visa data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Information requested which is not contained within this published data is not routinely captured. To capture numbers would require a manual trawl of data and to do so would incur disproportionate cost.
