Decision details

The report of the Head of Housing Services outlining the next phase of the Syrian Refugee Resettlement Programme was presented for the Executive’s consideration. The report outlined what had been achieved under the Resettlement Programme thus far in relation to the first three families resettled, as well as the considerations in planning for the resettlement of the next families who the Authority will be welcoming as part of the programme.

It was resolved –

•  That the Head of Service provides the Portfolio Member with regular updates  informally in relation to this programme, and that reports are only presented to the Executive when a decision regarding policy or finance needs to be made or in circumstances where the Head of Service and/or Portfolio Member request that a report/decision is presented to the Executive.

•  That as part of the programme, the 4th, 5th and 6th families be resettled in areas based on the factors outlined in the report.
