The ONS has published their latest dataset ‘Visa holders entering the UK under the Ukraine Humanitarian Schemes’.
The bulletin can be downloaded in Ukrainian to make the data accessible to all those who took part.
This UK Humanitarian Response Insight Survey informs the UK’s response to the evacuation of individuals fleeing Ukraine and aids local and national emergency response planning.
Carried out in collaboration with the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), the research records the experiences and intentions of those arriving in the UK under both the Ukraine Family Scheme and the Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme.
Today’s data shows the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians who have arrived are:
women with children
either in work or looking for work
nearly half can speak or read English
mostly settled in London and the South East, with 11% in Scotland and 5% in Wales
Further insights include:
Of those with at least one dependent child, just over half have at least one child requiring a primary school education service, while four in ten have at least one child requiring a secondary school education.
Around three-quarters of people who responded to the survey said their overall physical and mental health was good or very good, which is comparable with average health in the UK.
