Asylum seekers and refugees

We are not responsible for policy on immigration and asylum. These non-devolved issues remain the responsibility of the UK Government through the Home Office. We are however responsible for many of the policies and services in Wales that can help support refugees and asylum seekers.

We will work with our partners to help refugees and asylum seekers in our communities. Some of the key ways we will do this are through:

• Improving communication – developing language skills and increasing appropriate translation and interpretation facilities.
• Building strong communities – by building understanding between asylum seekers and refugees and receiving communities.
• Improving access to employment and training.
• Providing fair and equal access to core services – supporting refugees and asylum seekers to access the services they are entitled to.
