New Scots Integration Strategy (2018-2022) launch (Event)

Description

Launch event - in 2018 COSLA, Scottish Government and Scottish Refugee Council published a second New Scots Strategy building on the learning and success of the first. In preparation for the development of the strategy, a consultation was undertaken with refugees, asylum seekers and stakeholders.

The New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy 2018-2022 sets out a vision for a welcoming Scotland where refugees and asylum seekers are able to rebuild their lives from the day they arrive.

The strategy commits to better access to essential services such as education, housing, health and employment. It recognises the skills, knowledge and resilience which refugees bring and aims to help people to settle, become part of the community, and pursue their ambitions.
