300,000 children face 10-year wait for settled status under UK plans, says IPPR

The consultation closes on Thursday. What is being proposed is dreadful. Can I encourage you to engage with the consultation and put your dissent on record?

The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

Care 4 Calais appeal
Supporters may be interested in this appeal from Care4 Calais:


As temperatures drop with the onset of winter, the number of people in living sites across Calais and Dunkirk generally falls. But not this year.

At the moment, we are seeing up to 500 people attending our large distributions in Calais, and around 350 in Dunkirk. With that level of demand, we would normally bring 700 items to each distribution to hand out. But with demand being consistently high, our stock levels are taking a big hit and, as a result, we’ve been unable to carry out a large distribution of our winter snug packs.



With the fall in temperatures, the winter snug packs provide some of the items most needed by the community here. Just £10 will fund a pack, comprising a hat, scarf and gloves, which help keep refugees in northern France warm over the cold winter months.



We believe, across both sites, we need a minimum of 1,000 snug packs to meet demand over the coming weeks. Will you chip in to buy a pack?



Last year, Care4Calais supporters funded hundreds of winter snug packs. And our incredible volunteers got them out to the community here in Calais.
