BBC Radio 4 - File on 4, Ukraine: Taking in the Trauma

Is the UK’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme fit for purpose?

By following the families fleeing conflict, and those in the UK trying to help, File on 4 examines the challenges being faced by the UK’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme.

More than 150 thousand people have signed up to the UK’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme - hoping to open their doors to those desperately fleeing the war. But it’s a process that has been dogged with delays, and is raising serious safeguarding concerns as vulnerable women and children try to match up with potential hosts through unregulated sites online. By following those escaping the conflict, and the host families trying to help them, File on 4 investigates the difficulties this new scheme is facing, and examines how schools, councils and health services are coping with the arrival of so many traumatised families.
