<p>The Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) commenced on 6th January. The ACRS
will provide up to 20,000 women, children and others at risk with a safe and legal
route to resettle in the UK.</p><p>The capacity of the UK to resettle people is not
unlimited. In Year 1, resettlement through the third pathway will be limited to those
British Council and GardaWorld contractors and Chevening alumni who are most at risk.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office will be in touch with those eligible
to support them through the next steps.</p><p>Beyond the first year of the ACRS, we
will work with international partners and NGOs to welcome wider groups of Afghans
most at risk under the third referral pathway.</p><p>Information on how the ACRS will
operate including the referral pathways are set in the oral statement of 6 January.</p><p><a
