Cambridge is a proud city of sanctuary and as the local Council we want to ensure that all residents have the opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations. We know that many refugees are likely to have had their education or employment disrupted due to displacement caused by war and/or persecution. Refugees may face additional challenges to restarting education or employment due to having a low-level English and a lack of available English classes.
