Local Authority Integration Team

The Local Authority Integration Team (LAIT) is available to provide on-going integration supports to people categorised in any of the following groups living in the City and County of Kilkenny.

International Protection (IP) applicants,
Programme Refugees
Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BOTP)
Those with Refugee, Subsidiary Protection, or Permission to Remain status.

The team consists of an Integration Support Coordinator, two Integration Support Workers and an administrator. We aim to link people in any of these groups with local service providers appropriate to the need of the person. We will act as the direct point of contact to provide information, guidance and advice to queries, as they arise.

The Integration team will provide signposting to services one needs to access employment and develop English language proficiency,
access childcare and healthcare services and to connect to sporting and other local/community activities.
