In memoriam, Cllr Chris Robbins CBE 1945 – 2021......

Settled Status scheme deadline – 30 June 2021......
Changes in the law mean that EU citizens (this includes EEA and Swiss citizens) living and working in the UK need to make sure they have applied for Settled Status before 30 June 2021. Millions have already applied and secured their status, however UNISON is concerned that some may still miss the deadline.
