The pack was designed to inform discussions with the North Wales Children’s Regional Partnership Board about working together to improve the support available across the region. It was first published in December 2022.
Key information from the Population Needs Assessment
- Refugees and asylum seekers represent around 0.5% of the population in Wales.
- From 2017 to 2021, 241 asylum seekers (including adults and children) have been resettled across the North Wales local authorities.
- Wrexham and Conwy are asylum dispersal areas.
- Due to the small numbers, the published statistics for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children is limited for North Wales (see below for the latest statistics). Services will be needed to support their needs. They often arrive with little known about their health and wellbeing needs.
- Asylum seekers in dispersed accommodation are directly supported by services.
- A key issue flagged for asylum seekers and refugees is the need for improved mental health support.
