Minutes:
The Board considered a report (copy attached to signed minutes) on support to Syrian Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Shropshire. Shropshire Council had established a cross-party working group in the autumn of 2015 to formulate and co-ordinate the response from Shropshire to this international humanitarian crisis.
A copy of the full report that had been approved by the Cabinet at their meeting on 16 March 2016 was attached at Appendix A. It was noted that the first families would be arriving in Shropshire at the end of June 2016.
RESOLVED: That the recommendations included in the report at Appendix A be noted and supported by the Board.
