Episode 22 - Louise Calvey- Refugee Action- Homes for Ukraine, has Britain finally found compassion for Refugees?
The invasion of Ukraine has caused the largest displacement of people in Europe since the end of World War 2. Britain has responded to this tragic set of circumstances by using its best endeavours and asked its citizens to sponsor a Refugee whom they should house for at least 6 months. 200 000 people have signed up, at the time of recording, under 4000 visas had been processed.This social experiment in Human kindness and openness of heart is fraught with numerous challenges. We speak to Louise Calvey, Refugee Actions Head of Services and Safeguarding. She’s unequivocal, the scheme is poorly designed and a charter for traffickers, malign & unsavoury characters. That they will exploit this scheme is inevitable, the Government's laissez-faire, find me a Refugee on Facebook scheme will create extraordinary challenges for an unprepared kind population. A comprehensive and compelling listen.
