Ukrainian Support

Capital City Partnership (CCP) and the Department for Work and Pensions DWP are part of the Edinburgh Conflict Oversight Group that meet to link to the wider support efforts, led on by The City of Edinburgh Council (CEC). This is where all our intelligence on numbers and details comes from.

The Job Strategy Group works with partners to support the arrival of Ukrainian refugees and to help simplify access routes into employability support and sustainable employment.
