- Resettlement is the transfer of refugees from the country in which they have sought refuge to another State that has agreed to admit them. The UNHCR identifies refugees registered with them and assesses their protection needs. Those determined by UNHCR to be in need of resettlement may be referred to the UK for consideration. Resettlement is provided as a durable solution when integration in the host country or a safe return to a person’s country of origin is not possible.
Supported Asylum seekers are individuals (including dependants) in receipt of Home Office support, provided under the 1999 Immigration and Asylum Act (under statutory support provisions Section 98, Section 95 and Section 4). The data are a measure of stock population - that is, the number of people who were in the location at the time the data was extracted (last day of the quarter).
Location of individual is based on last recorded correspondence and may therefore include individuals who are in the process of being moved, or who have recently moved between locations.
Contingency accommodation (CA) is temporary accommodation (including hotels) used when there is insufficient Initial or Dispersed accommodation available. People housed in contingency accommodation generally move to Dispersed Accommodation when suitable property becomes available.
