From exploitation risks to mitigations: looking back locally on the implementation of the UK’s Ukraine Schemes

March 2024

This report produced by FLEX and UCL looks at the implementation of the UK’s Ukraine humanitarian visa schemes, with a focus on issues encountered around exploitation of displaced Ukrainians. Based on interviews conducted over a nine month period, the research builds upon a rapid assessment of human trafficking and exploitation risks in which major concerns were raised shortly after Russia’s full scale invasion began.

The report lays out policy recommendations for reducing immigration insecurity and improving responses to situations of trafficking and exploitation among displaced Ukrainians in the UK.

The Executive Summary and Full Report are available to read below.
