<p>This Government is committed to ensuring that refugees can take positive steps
towards integration as they rebuild their lives in the UK. All refugees in the UK
have access to mainstream benefits and services to enable their integration; and we
are working across Government to ensure services meet the needs of refugees.</p><p>Local
authorities resettling Syrian and other refugee families through the Vulnerable Persons
Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) are provided with funding from the Government to support
integration, including to enable access to additional language tuition. The VPRS is
being evaluated through a programme of quantitative data work and qualitative research
with refugees and key delivery partners. A key focus of this work is examining integration
progress to learn what works.</p><p>More broadly, the Government published the Integrated
Communities Action plan in February 2019, which includes a commitment to increase
integration support for all refugees in the UK. We will focus on supporting refugees
with English language, employment, mental health, and cultural orientation to life
in the UK.</p>
