What steps has the Welsh Government taken to ensure Ukrainian refugees can be properly supported when they arrive in Wales?

Answered by Minister for Social Justice | Answered on 17/03/2022

We are urgently preparing to support refugees arriving in Wales from Ukraine and working closely with Welsh councils and the third sector.

I refer you to the Written Statement the First Minister published on 15 March and the Written Statement I published on 16 March about Wales’ support for and participation in the Homes for Ukraine scheme announced by the UK Government. This follows a statement issued on 1 March.

We are committed to being a Nation of Sanctuary. We will do all we can to ensure Ukrainian people and their families are able to reach safety and receive a warm welcome in Wales.
