London Enriched Update (2013)

London Enriched, the Mayor’s Integration Strategy for London has been updated to set out the priorities for refugee and migrant integration in London for the rest of the Mayoral term and beyond.

The 2012 Games were a great success for our city and our country. Refugee and migrants to London were part of what made it the greatest show on earth, from Mo Farah’s double gold medal tally for Team GB and the 92 languages spoken by the residents of the host boroughs, to the global workforce that welcomed visitors from all over the world. The Mayor wants refugees and migrants to continue to be part of London’s success. Integration is key to this.

The Deputy Mayor will continue to lead the work of the London Strategic Migration Partnership, with the support of the Home Office, to bring together the key organisations in London and coordinating their efforts to monitor and respond to the impact on London of migration and immigration policy.

Over the next three years the aim of the strategy will remain the same: to enable individuals to achieve their full potential and contribute fully to the community in which they live. Being able to speak English will continue to be the main priority.
