GMIAU Guide to the Earned Settlement Consultation

The government are consulting on their planned changes to settlement in the UK, known as “earned settlement”. These are changes that will make it much harder for people to receive indefinite leave to remain in the UK, and we are very worried about the impact on people in our communities.

Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit have written a blog for individuals and organisations to learn more about what is being asked, the likely impacts of the government’s proposals, and why it is important to respond. For an in-depth guide to the key questions, go to the last section of the blog, linked below.

The deadline to respond to the consultation is 12th February.
