<p>Under the Ex Gratia Redundancy Scheme over 400 former locally employed staff have
been offered the opportunity to apply for relocation to the UK. No applications have
been refused under this scheme to date and over 170 of these local staff, along with
their immediate families, have been successfully relocated to the UK so far. In addition
to the redundancy scheme we have our Intimidation Policy, where staff can contact
a dedicated team based in Kabul for support if they are being intimidated because
of their work with British Forces. Under this scheme individuals do not apply for
relocation to the UK; they provide us with information about their case which is then
investigated thoroughly. Appropriate mitigation measures are provided to the local
staff member, which can include bespoke security advice, relocation within Afghanistan,
and in certain cases, relocation to the UK.</p>
