We’d like to hear about your experiences
We’re looking at the arrangements for Ukrainian people arriving in Wales since March 2022.
We’ll look to answer the question: Is the Welsh Government, working with its partners, responding effectively to support Ukrainian refugees in Wales?
We’ll focus in particular on the Welsh Government’s Super Sponsor scheme.
Our work aims to cover the initial response in the early days of the programme, current approaches, and future plans. To do this, we need to find out how the support for Ukrainian refugees has worked in practice in Wales.
Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, the United Nations Refugee Agency says that nearly 8 million refugees leaving Ukraine have been recorded across Europe.
In March 2022, the UK Government announced plans to allow Ukrainian refugees to enter the UK. These schemes allow Ukrainian nationals and their family members to make applications to stay in the UK for up to 3 years.
Also in March 2022, the Welsh Government announced that it would act as a Homes for Ukraine ‘super-sponsor’, allowing people to apply for a visa to come to Wales without a named sponsor. The Welsh Government paused this route in June 2022.
Since March 2022, almost 6,500 people have arrived from Ukraine in Wales, including around 3,000 people who have arrived from Ukraine sponsored by the Welsh Government.
We want to hear from people who have an experience to share including Ukrainian refugees, hosts or other people that may have been involved with supporting the response.
