Minutes
The Chairman announced that Hampshire County Council stood in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and the communities affected by the war in Ukraine, including residents with roots in Russia, and the wider region who also have grave concerns about the ongoing war.
Alongside our partners, our priority was enabling the Homes for Ukraine scheme and the support that Ukrainian refugees, and their sponsors, require from local authorities, including safeguarding and accommodation checks, financial arrangements and providing help to access schools and health services.
In addition to the devastating impact on the people of Ukraine, the conflict and its associated impact on the global economy was affecting supply chains across all sectors. Both Business Services and Property Services continued to work with their supply chains to manage these pressures. The County Council, and its supply chain, recognised the valuable skills that the Ukrainian citizens arriving to the UK bring and encouraged those seeking employment opportunities that were available within the County Council’s services.
