英国：新设安全合法通道开放担保机构申请 首批难民明年秋季抵达
英国政府10月29日宣布，即日起，慈善机构和非营利组织可以申请成为新设安全合法难民通道的“牵头担保机构”。这是英国政府重新设计难民庇护体系、打击非法入境的一部分：全新的担保模式仿照加拿大的私人担保制度，由社区而非国家来安置难民。
按计划，“命名社区担保”通道和“难民留学”通道的首批抵达者将于明年秋季来到英国，预计最初每年只有数百人，随后逐步增加到数千人；另一条工作通道定于2027年春季启动。入选的牵头担保机构将负责物色和支持当地志愿者团体，陪伴难民家庭住房、就业和融入社区，机构须经内政部认证和监管。
英国政府说，申请标准将确保只有可靠的伙伴参与，目前已有多家机构表示有意加入。边境安全和庇护大臣安娜·特利（Anna Turley）说，英国向来为逃离战争和迫害的人提供庇护，数以千计的家庭曾通过社区担保安顿下来；新模式的目标，是让庇护重新变得“可控、公平和富有同情心”。
英国政府表示，英国已承诺在今后10年投入5亿英镑改革庇护体系；自2021年以来，英国已通过乌克兰、叙利亚和香港等计划为超过66万感到不安全的人提供了避风港。
UK: Applications Open for Lead Sponsors Under New Safe and Legal Refugee Routes
The UK government announced on October 29 that charities and non-profit organisations can now apply to become accredited lead sponsors under new safe and legal routes for refugees. The sponsorship model, redesigned as part of a wider asylum overhaul, is modelled on Canada's private sponsorship system, with communities rather than the state resettling refugees.
The first arrivals under the Named Community Sponsorship and Refugee Study routes are expected next autumn, initially in the hundreds per year, rising gradually to the low thousands; a separate work route is due in spring 2027. Lead sponsors will recruit and support local volunteer groups and help refugee families with housing, work and settling in, under Home Office accreditation and oversight.
The government said application criteria will ensure only trusted partners take part, and several organisations have already expressed interest. Anna Turley, the Minister for Border Security and Asylum, said Britain has a proud history of offering sanctuary, with thousands of families resettled through community sponsorship, and that the new model aims to make the system controlled, fair and compassionate.
The government said £500 million will be invested over ten years in reforming the asylum system, and that since 2021 the UK has offered sanctuary to more than 660,000 people through routes including Ukraine, Syria and Hong Kong schemes.
