KCC is supporting the process of settling those fleeing the conflict in a number of ways including, carrying out Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks with all host families, offering English courses for Ukrainian adults along with education for children and young people through the Kent Adult Education service and offering school places for Ukrainian children in primary and secondary schools across the county.
A wealth of information for residents and Ukrainian refugees with queries about the Ukraine Families Schemes settlement is available at www.kent.gov.uk/ukraine, or by emailing Ukraine@kent.gov.uk or by calling the dedicated helpline on 03000 412424.
The helpline, which includes a translation service if needed, can provide anyone in the county with information, support and advice.
