Views are sought from the FCO and MoD on the likely risk to the individual. There are also two Government schemes to assist former interpreters and other locally engaged civilians in Afghanistan. These schemes provide for a safe and legal route for those former employees who require relocation, avoiding the need for dangerous journeys to the UK.<\/p> Those who are found not to need protection have a right of appeal to the independent courts.
