Scotland's support for displaced people from Ukraine: Super Sponsor Scheme review

Annex B

Criteria for Reopening

As part of the review, a set of criteria was also developed with support of key stakeholders against which plans for reopening could be objectively considered. The proposed criteria is as follows:

• Displaced people already in Scotland are in safe and suitable accommodation;
• Welcome accommodation is available for people who are yet to travel, with a pipeline of longer-term properties available;
• Displaced people can access information and advice about relevant services and support;
• Measures are in place to mitigate pressures on local councils and services;
• Clear understanding of the costs related to re-opening the scheme and confirmation funding is place to cover these;
• Clear understanding of the challenges of re-opening the scheme, and how these will be managed;
• Assessment of the current situation in Ukraine, including unexpected or unforeseen developments in the war leading to mass migration events.
