Afghan Locally Employed Staff Relocation Scheme

The United Kingdom has been running a scheme to support locally employed staff in Afghanistan recognition of the commitment and bravery they have shown by supporting UK forces since 2013. In April 2021, this was extended to include a relocation scheme to the UK.   

Fareham Borough Council has confirmed its commitment to the scheme and we are due to welcome our first family in the coming weeks.    

Hampshire County Council is leading the response at a local level and working closely with the Home Office.
