Refugee Support Services

Devon County Council is coordinating, in parts of Devon, the resettlement of refugee families from across the globe under the UK government’s resettlement schemes. In 2025 the council intends to let contracts for various strands of support to enable resettled families to adapt to life in the UK and lead independent and productive lives. This support will include: initial reception and integration casework support, coordinating/ensuring access to English language provision, translation and interpreting, advice on access to services and entitlements, assessment and support for employability, development of self-reliance and social capital and other support to meet needs identified over time.
