Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme in Scotland: statistics - April 2024

Next steps

Official Statistics in Development are statistics which are published in order to involve users and stakeholders in their development and as a means to build in quality at an early stage.

While the data presented in this statistical release are still under development, and is subject to changes and corrections, data that is in the public interest is reviewed and published accordingly.

We are currently undergoing a programme of roll out of the Warm Scottish Welcome digital ecosystem across all local authorities to record matched accommodation. This data will be introduced to the publication when the Warm Scottish Welcome digital ecosystem transition is complete, and we are confident with the data quality of the metrics available on this application.

This report, and accompanying tables, will be published regularly, and the content and quality will continue to be evaluated and improved.

If you have any feedback on the content of this report please contact DATAPT@gov.scot.
