We have been told the Government remains keen to work with councils to stress the wish to still receive applications for the EU Settlement Scheme and have asked councils to signpost updated guidance and support for those who were unable to apply within the deadline for a variety of reasons.
Councils may also wish to reassure those that have yet to have decisions on their applications or those that have yet to apply of their ongoing rights to access local services during the grace period.
A range of information and resources is still available for councils to support awareness and applications to the scheme, particularly for supporting groups and individuals that may not have been reached by national communications.
