answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>We have regular engagement with UNHCR and its partners on a range of issues relating to the resettlement of refugees. The last meeting was on 3 December 2018. These meetings include discussions on strengthening their outreach to minority groups, such as Christians, that might otherwise be reluctant to register for fear of stigma/discrimination and unaware of the safe space and options available to them.</p><p>In all the countries from which we resettle under the Vulnerable Persons and Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Schemes, UNHCR continues to undertake activities which aim to encourage religious and other minorities to register. <br>These include mobile registration teams, outreach teams, and Help Desks for areas where different minority groups are concentrated to facilitate registration and access to services. These are all part of an effort to facilitate registration for those refugees who for whatever reason cannot or choose not to access the main registration offices.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/12/2018 13:37:36 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
