<p>The Home Office works closely with other government departments to ensure mainstream
English language provision meets the needs of refugees.</p><p>Individuals aged 19
or over with refugee status are immediately eligible for funding through the Department
for Education’s Adult Education budget. This includes funding for English For Speakers
of Other Languages (ESOL) classes.</p><p>The Home Office also provides a tariff per
person to Local Authorities in return for providing a package of support to each refugee
arriving via one of the UK’s formal resettlement schemes, including an £850 payment
for English Language training.</p><p>As set out in the New Plan for Immigration, we
will enhance support provided to refugees by developing a package of tailored support
such as language training, skills development and work placements to help them integrate
into UK society and become self-sufficient more quickly.</p>
