Have your say on the Island's refugee policy

Would you like a say on the Island's future policy for refugees fleeing places of conflict?

Officials say they want to hear from the public - as it launches a consultation to explore how residents think the Island should determine and approach policy on accepting refugees.

It follows government's support of humanitarian efforts in response to the invasion of Ukraine.

This included the initiative to help and welcome those fleeing Ukraine - welcoming more than 100 people since March.

Government says its committed to reviewing and updating the broader policy on refugees by July 2023, following a Tynwald debate in April this year.

The consultation, which is open until 13 December 2022, will be available to view on the Government website and may also be downloaded electronically from the Consultation hub.

Alternatively, written comments can be emailed to jasmine.cowin2@gov.im or by post to Jasmine Cowin, External Relations, 3rd Floor, Government Office, Bucks Road, Douglas.
