Our Work
Strategic Migration Partnerships (SMPs) are Local Government led partnerships funded by, but independent of, the Home Office, whose role is to coordinate and support delivery of national programmes in asylum and refugee schemes as well as agreed regional and devolved migration priorities. There are 12 SMP partnerships across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. The hosting arrangements for each partnership may differ depending on regional and national structures.
