Afghan resettlement
Manchester City Council is working with the UK Government to support the Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP).
Afghan families are coming to the UK under three different legal categories:
- British Nationals - Often the father is British, with an Afghan-born wife and children who have never lived in the UK.
- Afghan Resettlement Programme -This scheme supports people who worked for the UK in Afghanistan, such as former local staff.
Manchester’s support
Manchester continues to welcome Afghan families. The Council helps with:
- Getting support with learning English Language
- Finding work and employment
- Settling into the local communities and keeping good health, for example how to apply for school or college places for children, how to register with a Doctor (G.P), and Dentist.
