Details

Ipsos were commissioned to undertake a three-year qualitative study with refugees on the VPRS/VCRS and a range of local and national stakeholders. Fieldwork took place between 2018 and 2020 and consisted of 5 local authority areas from across the UK and 4 community sponsor case studies.

The study explored what was working well and what could be improved to better integrate refugees, with a focus on capturing changes in the delivery of services and identifying good practice. Examples of good practice highlighted included tailoring support to individuals’ needs and preferences, for example, by providing practical, employment-focused language classes and more community-based, volunteer-led initiatives to supplement them.
