Home Office launches toolkit for employers to support EU Settlement Scheme
Toolkit will support organisations in reassuring and helping EU citizens apply for settled status.
Employers, industry groups and community groups in the UK will be able to give EU citizens practical advice on how to apply for settled status with the help of a new toolkit published by the Home Office.
皇冠体育app toolkit was developed with employers and industry groups and includes videos, how-to-guides, leaflets and posters.
皇冠体育app Home Secretary launched the toolkit at the Home Office yesterday at a gathering of some of the UK鈥檚 biggest employers of EU citizens, as well as industry bodies, local government agencies and community groups, many of whom played a key part in developing the toolkit.
皇冠体育app Home Secretary said:
Our settlement scheme will offer security and certainty to EU citizens living in the UK.
Once the scheme has launched, employers, industry groups and charities will play a vital role in ensuring they can secure their status quickly and easily.
皇冠体育app toolkit will help us to reach out to all EU citizens living in this country and help them get their new immigration status.
Matthew Fell, CBI Chief UK Policy Director, said:
EU workers provide crucial skills and labour to businesses of all sizes and sectors throughout the UK, and pay taxes that help fund public services.
Employers have worked with the government to ensure information about claiming 鈥榮ettled status鈥� is valuable and accessible. We鈥檒l be asking our members to share the new toolkit with everyone who鈥檒l find it useful.
皇冠体育app settlement scheme will open in a phased way later this year and will be fully open by 30 March 2019.
皇冠体育app deadline for applications will be 30 June 2021.
皇冠体育app Home Office will continue to engage with stakeholders, including employers, local authority representatives and community groups, about the detailed design of the scheme as we learn from the first pilot with NHS trusts and universities in the north-west of England starting on 28 August.
More details on how EU citizens and their families can obtain settled status in the UK can be found in the statement of intent.
