<p>All refugees have access to English language training as part of their access to
the labour market. We support English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses
as part of our wider effort to improve adult literacy in England.</p><p>We provide
full funding for ESOL courses for unemployed adults, including refugees, on work-related
benefits, such as Job Seekers Allowance or Employment Support Allowance. All other
learners are supported by the government with 50% of the course costs.</p><p>Additionally,
the Home Office provides funding for English language as part of its commitment to
resettling vulnerable people through the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme to the
UK and helping them integrate into their local communities. This funding includes
a tariff for each person resettled, a proportion of which can be allocated to ESOL
provision.</p>
