London Enriched: the Mayor’s draft strategy for refugee integration in London

The Mayor’s draft strategy for refugee integration in London – London Enriched – outlines a range of recommended action to tackle the disadvantage faced by London’s refugees, so that they may settle and integrate successfully in London. It focuses on action needed in the areas of housing; employment training and enterprise; health; community safety; refugee children and young people; and community development.

Integration, in the Mayor’s view, means equality of opportunity for refugees, enabling them to make their full contribution to the city’s development.

The Board for Refugee Integration for London (BRIL), chaired by the Mayor, has spent the past year supporting him in the development of the strategy. Strategy development has also been supported by a wide range of other partners, including refugees themselves.

The Mayor now seeks Londoners’ views on the draft strategy. The full strategy, a summary and a reference document are available for download below.

Timetable

Consultation on the draft strategy runs from 10 July to 29 October 2007.

A consultation report will be written and the consultation findings will inform the final Mayor’s Strategy for refugee integration in London. The completion date for the final strategy is February 2008
