Ukrainian refugees will be offered “one offer of suitable accommodation only” under the Government's revised refusals policy which has now come into effect.

If a Ukrainian refugee turns down an offer of accommodation, they will be asked to “vacate any temporary stay-over facility or short-term emergency accommodation with immediate effect”.
