That Wiltshire Council builds on its achievements in
caring for vulnerable unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee
children by supporting the Safe Passage
‘Our Turn’ campaign, recognising the historical legacy of the Kindertransport; and pledges to
welcome directly from affected regions (including Europe) a target
of 10 at-risk refugee children per year for the next 10 years
taking into consideration Wiltshire
Council’s foster carer capacity to meet
the need, as part of a fully funded
government vulnerable children’s resettlement scheme. Furthermore, that officers should work with
the government to examine the detail of how this scheme should
operate, and work with local campaigners and faith groups to
highlight the need for more Wiltshire Council foster carers in the
county.
