The latest data from the government shows that 1,624 Ukrainians could initially be heading to Kent. They have been matched with 709 sponsors in the county who signed up to the Homes for Ukraine Scheme.
KCC is supporting the process of settling those fleeing the conflict in a number of ways including, carrying out Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks with all host families, offering English courses for Ukrainian adults along with education for children and young people through the Kent Adult Education service and offering school places for Ukrainian children in primary and secondary schools across the county.
