The primary material risk associated with this service is that the Homes for Ukraine Scheme is nationally determined and funded, and its continuation, scale, or scope may change in line with Government policy or funding decisions. Any significant reduction, pause, or closure of the scheme would be outside the Council's control and may impact service volumes and contract requirements. No other exceptional or non standard risks have been identified, as the service reflects an established delivery model that the Council has operated since 2022."
