SAFE: Full Integration

Full Integration Study

Leaping into a new life: Are we Hongkongers finding our feet in the UK?

This study covers UK HongKongers’ integration progress in economic, psychological, social, and political aspects. The report will highlight the challenges facing UK Hongkongers, reasons for moving to the UK and returning to Hong Kong. The study will provide policy suggestions for different levels of government and authorities to improve policies, particularly in resolving barriers and challenges to integrating into UK society.

This report and its findings aim to advise the UK, regional and local governments, and other non-governmental organisations on devising more inclusive policies.
