## Description

Lewisham Council formally decided on 21 September 2016, to respond to the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by conflict in Syria by resettling up to 10 Syrian refugee households in Lewisham\. The Council decided to do this as part of the national government’s ‘Syrian Vulnerable Persons \(SVPs\) Resettlement Scheme’\. This scheme requires local authorities to fulfil the criteria as listed on their ‘Statement of Requirements’\. The Council resolved to carry out the tendering and appointment of a support resettlement service as part of this action\. It is thought that initial intensive support will be required, but that support will taper as households become more integrated into the local community\.
