Ukraine: Support for hosts

Applying for a school place

Ukrainian parents can apply for a school place for their child as soon as they arrive. They will need to follow the process for applying for a school place mid-year.

Parents may need your help to do this. The guidance on applying for a school place in our Homes for Ukraine Hosts Toolkit (PDF, 370 KB) will help you support them.

Childcare

Norfolk Family Information Service provide free, impartial advice on childcare. They can help parents find education and childcare for children of all ages.

More information on childcare is available in the Government's Homes for Ukraine: Guidance for guests.

Continuing Ukrainian education online

Some guests may decide they want their children to continue with their Ukrainian education online. These children and young people need to be registered as receiving home education. Parents will need to contact the Home Educators' team to let the service know of their choice.

The service will then allocate a dedicated Ukrainian speaking Elective Home Education Officer who will work to support the family.
