At last the government appear to be
springing into action, however the new plan has arisen just a few questions for
me. How prepared are the government in real terms ? what will their actual responsibility be ?
People are willing to help and host but should also be supported by the government. Coming from a conflict zone brings its own issues. How prepared is this government to support the UK people's generous offer with the right support?
Is this also where the government eludes itself of all responsibility and commitment and passes it all to those who are hosting and relies on peoples’ good nature and those that may not have the experience of war and the trauma and the effects it can have?
Trauma Support ? Who will be providing this?, Who will be providing the support in understanding trauma to the host families? Medical Care ?
How ready is the UK government to actually support us all ?
With regard the payment of £350.00 how will that affect those on universal credit and benefits if they wish to host or will they be discriminated through the vetting process?
What will be the legal implications for those hosting ?
I may sound cynical but hosting families from conflict zones is not to be taken lightly.
To make it work there has to be the support and backup for all, from the government and not token gestures.
