SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE

 1. Home
 2. Your Council
 3. Community and social issues
 4. Support for Ukraine

As the devastation in Ukraine continues to dominate the news, our thoughts and
prayers are with the people of Ukraine. We stand ready to respond and to offer
our support. We will be raising the Ukrainian flag at our town hall in
Leamington Spa and Elizabeth House in Stratford-on-Avon, as a mark of our
support and our sympathy for the families and friends of those involved in this
unnecessary war.

Read the full joint statement from the Chairman of Warwick District Council and
Stratford District Council.


PLEDGE OF ASSISTANCE FOR UKRAINIANS

You may be aware local government, at both the County and District level, have
been instrumental in sourcing accommodation, providing support, identifying
schools, securing a variety of healthcare interventions and many other measures,
for both Afghan, Syrian and other UK Resettlement Scheme participants. We are
working closely with district, borough and county colleagues to co-ordinate a
response to support arrivals from Ukraine.


HOMES FOR UKRAINE

The Homes for Ukraine visa scheme supports visa applications from Ukrainians who
have named people in the UK willing to sponsor them. This scheme allows
Ukrainian refugees to find safety in the UK through sponsorship from the public.
Details of the visa scheme are available at - Apply for a visa under the Ukraine
sponsorship scheme (Homes for Ukraine). Visa applications can be completed by
either the Ukrainian refugee or the sponsors, but will need to include details
of both. Further guidance is available under Homes for Ukraine FAQ.

Warwickshire County Council has information for Ukrainian guests, their
hosts (sponsors) and residents and a Welcome to Warwickshire pack, all of which
is available translated.


PROPERTY VISITS

We will contact sponsors who have submitted a visa application to inspect
accommodation to ensure it is suitable for the arriving refugees. Please find an
outline of requirements detailed in the Homes for Ukraine FAQ  and letter for
sponsors.

 * Accommodation should be safe, warm and provide adequate access to bathroom
   and kitchen facilities
 * No rent should be charged, and it should be offered for at least six months.
 * The visit will be carried out by a council officer who will carry out a basic
   check of the suitability of the home and also undertake a safeguarding check.
   This is a priority work area where we are working through a number of
   applications, we will be in touch with you as soon as possible to arrange a
   visit


DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE (DBS) CHECKS

 * Warwickshire County Council will contact sponsors directly to arrange a DBS
   check. Please visit information for sponsors for further information.

The property inspection or the DBS check will not necessarily delay the progress
of visa applications, as the visa is not dependent on the property inspection.
Once the visa is granted, the refugees are free to travel to join their sponsor.


PAYMENTS

£200 PAYMENTS TO GUESTS

Please email ukraine@warwickshire.gov.uk to make an appointment, providing:

 * The name and address of the sponsor;
 * the name and date of birth for all guests;
 * the date and time you wish to visit;
 * who will be accompanying the guests.

Please ensure all guests attend with identification. No monies can be given to
sponsors or to guests without ID.

£350 PAYMENT TO SPONSORS

We are developing arrangements to make the £350 monthly payment to sponsors.
Further information on how this will be paid will be available via this webpage
in due course.


RESOURCES FOR MATCHING SPONSORS WITH FAMILIES

 * Reset Communities and Refugees  - A national charity commissioned by the UK
   Government to help register and match refugees from Ukraine with sponsors
   from across the UK (matching and re-matching)
 * Hand in Hand  - A Coventry-based community organisation that matches UK
   sponsors and Ukrainian guests (matching and re-matching)
 * OPORA  - A national charitable organisation that provides both emergency and
   practical support to Ukrainians and their families who are looking to rebuild
   their lives in safety, having fled the war. In the UK, they operate an online
   platform for Ukrainian guests and UK sponsors looking to match for the Homes
   to Ukraine Scheme.


UK FAMILY SCHEME

There is UK Family Scheme, which is designed to enable Ukrainian applicants to
join their family members in the UK. For more, see Apply for a Ukraine family
scheme visa.
