Home Office produces Welcome Guides for New Refugees

The guide is available in eleven of the most common languages spoken by refugees in the UK, with an English translation alongside.

It includes chapters on -

- A general introduction to the UK including things you may find helpful such as what money is used, how transport works and what the weather is like.
- Relevant information once you’ve been recognised as a refugee.
- Preparing you for the move on period: what you should do and how to access support, employment and housing.
- Employment: how to find a job and apply for support while you search.
- Finding accommodation.
- Accessing education.
- What rights and responsibilities you have, what is legal and illegal, and how to get help from the police.
- How to see a doctor and other healthcare needs.

The 106 page guides can be found on the Home Office website here.
