More than 700 refugees and asylum seekers have contributed their expertise to a new document produced by the Scottish government: the New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy. The Scottish strategy, which was partly written by refugees themselves, outlines the importance of providing housing, healthcare and education to help new arrivals become ‘part of the community’.
The document has been endorsed by UNHCR, the UN’s refugee agency, and comes after the news that Scotland has met its target to settle 2,000 Syrian refugees three years ahead of schedule.
