We feel that section 6.8 para 9 needs to go further. In particular the special needs of recent new arrivals also need to be considered. It is not unusual for such groups to tend to look to those with a similar cultural background for mutual support and they often have very strong links to their faith, language and cultures. At the same time, they need to have opportunities and encouragement to full integrate with the existing population. We feel therefore that their needs and the needs of their adopting communities could benefit from special consideration.
