Between 2014 and 2020, around 20,000 Syrians were resettled in the UK. The UK government established several schemes to help Syrian refugees, including:
Vulnerable Person Resettlement Scheme (VPRS): This scheme was established in 2014 after public pressure and a campaign led by the Refugee Council. The UK reached its target of resettling 20,000 refugees by February 2021.
Vulnerable Children's Resettlement (VCRS) scheme: This scheme resettled 1,838 people by February 2021.
Gateway: This resettlement program, run in partnership with UNHCR, aims to resettle 750 refugees per year.
The number of Syrian nationals living in the UK has increased over time:
2011: The UK census recorded 8,526 people born in Syria.
2014: There were around 12,000 Syrian nationals in the UK.
2019: The number of Syrian nationals in the UK peaked at 47,000.
2021: There were approximately 28,000 Syrian nationals in the UK.
