How to modify your speech to help your guests
Another video recorded for us by Shelley from English Unlocked, this time focusing on the ways in which you can modify your speech to make it easier for your guests to understand English.
Supporting your Guest to Access Services
When your guest arrives, you may need to help them in several areas of support. Be mindful where your responsibility ends and the local authority responsibility begins, if you are in doubt, check with your local authority. Always remember the empowerment approach when helping your guest to understand different systems in the UK – never doing something for someone.
Practical support as your guests prepare for the end of hosting
When it’s time for your guests to leave you, they may ask you for guidance on what to do next. It’s always good to have conversations around ending your support early on. You may have followed our guidance on how to plan for the end of your support but still need some more practical support on the next steps.
For UK Landlords wanting to help Ukrainians in the UK
Many Ukrainians who have been living with hosts across the UK are now searching for alternative options as their sponsorship comes to an end. Ukrainians who have come to the UK through the Homes for Ukraine scheme have three years’ leave to remain, meaning they are able to work, claim benefits and rent property in the UK for that period of time.
Politeness in Ukraine
Politeness in Ukraine can be expressed differently than it is here in the UK. To help you navigate those cultural differences we partnered with English Unlocked again. We hope this series of short videos will help you understand Ukrainian approach politeness and showing care.
