question text	Her Majesty's Government what financial or other assistance they have given to cultural organisations to support their activities aiming to encourage the successful integration of refugees.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL699
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government provides funding for a range of services that can be accessed by refugees as part of their successful integration. Language skills and employment skills are key, and the ability to speak English is a key enabler to successful integration. On this basis the Government provides funding for and supports English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) as part of its wider strategy to improve adult literacy in England. ESOL funding is not ring-fenced and comes out of a provider’s Adult Education Budget (AEB). Colleges and training providers have the freedom and flexibility to determine how they use their AEB to meet the needs of their communities. There is no direct funding of cultural bodies for integration purposes although refugees are encouraged to participate in existing social and community groups.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 25/07/2017 15:14:30 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
