This report presents the findings of a survey conducted among Afghans whose data was breached by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) after they applied for resettlement to the UK under the Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP) or Afghan Locally Employed Staff Ex-Gratia Scheme. It is the first systematic study of the impact of the data breach among affected Afghans, documenting physical and psychological harms, as well as shortcomings with the UK Government’s response.
