Following messages on the HoSS and other forums in January 2022, NatSIP has produced this briefing note which we hope will be useful and suitable for circulation to colleagues in your area.

This work was stimulated by a request to NatSIP from QToDs in London. Working with them and other NatSIP partners, we have compiled information that may be useful to send to others if refugee families arrive with children and young people with sensory impairment.

The NatSIP Steering Group would like to thank all who have contributed to this note.
