<p>The Syrian VPR is based on need. It prioritises those who cannot be supported effectively
in their region of origin. We work closely with the UNHCR to identify cases that they
deem in need of resettlement and we will continue this work to ensure we deliver our
commitment to provide refuge to 20,000 Syrians.</p><p>The UNHCR identifies people
in need of resettlement based on the following criteria: women and girls at risk;
survivors of violence and/or torture; refugees with legal and/or physical protection
needs; refugees with medical needs or disabilities; children and adolescents at risk;
persons at risk due to their sexual orientation or gender identity; and refugees with
family links in resettlement countries.</p><p>We are not expecting the refugees arriving
in the first months of the scheme to include unaccompanied children.</p>
