Overview
Laois Local Authority Integration Team
The aim of the Local Authority Integration Team (LAIT) is to help people to settle and integrate into communities. The LAIT helps people to access the services that are available to them. Integration means being able to take part in society as much as a person wants and needs, without giving up their own cultural identity.
The Local Authority Integration Team (LAIT) works with:
- Applicants for International Protection,
- Those with Refugee, Subsidiary Protection, or Permission to remain status
- Programme Refugees
- Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection
The LAIT will give people information and advice. It will also guide them to services that will help them integrate into the community, such as English language classes, training, education, healthcare, employment, and cultural, social, and political participation.
