answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2022 answer text <p><em>The UK has a long history of supporting refugees in need of protection. </em><em>The UK continues to welcome vulnerable people through the existing global UK Resettlement Scheme, Mandate Resettlement Scheme, Community Sponsorship Scheme and Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme.</em></p><p><em>Since 2015, we have resettled more than 27,000 refugees through safe and legal routes direct from regions of conflict and instability; around half of whom were children.</em></p><p><em>In response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Home Office made several changes to the immigration system, including launching the Ukraine Family Scheme.</em></p><p><em>In addition, we are e</em><em>stablishing a humanitarian sponsorship pathway,</em> <em>led by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whereby Ukrainians who may not have family ties in the UK can be sponsored to come to the UK by willing and able individuals, businesses, or community organisations. There will be no numerical limit on this scheme, and we will welcome as many Ukrainians as wish to come and have matched sponsors.</em></p><p><em>Resettlement is only one strand of our international efforts helping refugees. It is complemented by the UK’s significant humanitarian aid programme and diplomatic efforts. We believe this approach is the best way to ensure the UK’s help has the greatest impact for the majority of refugees.</em></p><p><em>More information on existing resettlement schemes can be found in the published guidance </em><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/resettlement-policy-statement" target="_blank"><em>Resettlement: policy guidance - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</em></a><em> and </em><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/afghan-citizens-resettlement-scheme" target="_blank"><em>Afghan citizens resettlement scheme - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</em></a></p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 15/03/2022 17:41:45 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, on what dates transfers of assets from budgets of schools under the control of the Wakefield City Academy Trust to the Trust were made.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>In line with its Funding Agreement, Wakefield City Academies Trust (WCAT) is taking a trust-wide perspective of its finances. The department has looked at the allegations of assets being moved inappropriately from WCAT schools and we have seen no evidence of this. The West Yorkshire Police have investigated and found allegations of financial irregularities at the trust to be unsubstantiated. As a result, the police concluded their inquiries with no further action. This follows the auditors’ unqualified opinion on the trust’s accounts.</p><p> </p><p>Our priority continues to be to transfer the schools to strong trusts that will be able to drive rapid and sustainable school improvement, to give pupils the best possible education. On 1 April 2018, 11 of the schools formally transferred from WCAT to their new Trusts. The department is working to transfer the remaining 10 academies as smoothly as possible and in a way that secures the financial future for each school as well as the education of their pupils. We have worked with all the schools and the new trusts to provide appropriate support and resources, including funding, so that each of the schools has what is required to improve pupil outcomes.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 135665 135669 question first answered 23/04/2018 14:23:57 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
