This is the story of Azeldin, a Libyan who came with his family to Britain as an asylum seeker and was eventually granted refugee status. Life was not easy for Azeldin. He spent time in a detention centre and suffered a period of depression. He and his family were given sub-standard housing. Although several organisations tried to help him, it wasn’t until a friend suggested that he should visit the Manchester Refugee Support Network that his life really began to improve. With their support, he was able to access services to get his family on a more solid footing. He now works with the Support Network and helps other refugee families to get established in this country. Describing the challenges of connecting asylum seekers and refugees with services, the video gives us a look at some of the work being done to support and advise members of these communities.

This circular advises local authorities of the social care charging arrangements for the Homes for Ukraine scheme. The purpose of this circular is to assist local authorities in dealing with payments made to care recipients who sponsor refugees under that scheme, when carrying out financial assessments in relation to adult social care. The guidance outlines that sponsors should be considered to be volunteers engaged in a voluntary activity as a host, when carrying out financial assessments in relation to adult social care. The guidance states that where a sponsor is currently receiving means-tested support towards meeting their care costs, it is the government's intention that any payments received under the Homes for Ukraine scheme are disregarded when a local authority carries out a social care financial assessment. The guidance also states that accommodation must be provided for a minimum of 6 months, and the sponsor can receive a £350 per month 'thank you' payment which is payable up to a maximum of 12 months.

This practice guide has been developed to support commissioners and providers of social care services to work effectively with refugees and asylum seekers and to understand relevant policy and practice.

It then discusses pointers for good practice in the areas of: principles of practice; organisational foundations; ensuring access to services; high quality culturally sensitive service provision; promoting social inclusion, integration and independence; and good practice entitled 'Social care for refugees and asylum seekers' and originally published in 2010].
