Children from Hong Kong - Bilingual resource

Also attached is information about 'The Welcome Magazine', which is a gift for incoming children from Hong Kong under the BN(O) visa scheme at primary school age, and a bilingual resource to help them feel welcome and learn more about British culture. It includes fun facts about life in the UK and signposts to local services and groups to further assist the child's integration. (There is also a chance to win family visit tickets to Warwick Castle by providing feedback on the magazine).
