<p>Work continues with local authorities and international partners to deliver the
Government’s commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement
Scheme (VPRS) by 2020, including those with family links in the UK, and we are on
track to do this. The Mandate Resettlement Scheme also allows those recognised by
the UNCHR as refugees to join close family members here in the UK.</p><p><br>We always
aim to resettle families referred to the UK’s resettlement schemes by the UNHCR as
close as possible to any family members already here in the UK, however this is subject
to the availability of suitable and sustainable accommodation and relevant support
services in that area.</p><p><br>We are working with key stakeholders and international
partners on our future Asylum and Resettlement Strategy. This includes consideration
of the UK’s resettlement offer beyond 2020.</p>
