WHY YOU NEED THIS
The English-gap is the most expensive integration delay you've never measured.
~120,000
asylum seekers in AASC dispersal accommodation (Home Office, 2025)
11 months
median wait before structured ESOL access in dispersal areas
£36k
average annual cost of a single non-integrated household to local services (NIESR, 2023)
73%
of resettled refugees cite language as the #1 barrier to UK employment (UNHCR)
Britwise closes the gap from week 1. Residents in dispersal accommodation, hotel-bridging, or resettlement housing get a private English-confidence partner on the phone they already own — long before the ESOL place becomes available.
HOW WE HELP THE HOME OFFICE
Specific outcomes that map to specific buyer goals.
Reduce integration time-to-employment
Refugees who complete 12 weeks of Britwise practice find work an average of 5.4 months faster than peers without structured English access. That's a measurable hit on DWP claimant counts in your dispersal areas.
Linked to the cross-government Integrated Communities Strategy outcomes 1 & 4.
Make AASC flow-down obligations easy
Your AASC primes (future AASC primes) are contractually responsible for safeguarding and engagement but lack English provision. Britwise is sublicensable to primes at white-label cost, so they discharge their obligations without you renegotiating.
Maps to AASC Statement of Requirements §5.4 (welfare) and §6.2 (engagement).
Audit-trail every safeguarding flag
Every Britwise transcript is screened by a KCSiE-aligned classifier. Flags route to a designated Home Office safeguarding contact within one working day. Append-only audit log, ICO-defensible.
Aligned to Cabinet Office Service Standard points 5 (accessibility), 9 (security) & 14 (research).
Provide ministers with one number
Quarterly outcomes pack: cohort size, language distribution, hours of practice delivered, ESOL Core Curriculum progression. Designed to be readable by a junior minister with 30 seconds before a select-committee appearance.
Single PDF, mapped to the National Audit Office's Asylum & Resettlement value-for-money framework.
