Brief Description of Decision:
|
The decision was to approve a collaborative proposal co-designed with voluntary sector partners to support European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss nationals and their families residing in Rotherham to apply through the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS).
|
Reasons for the Decision:
|
This will enable EEA nationals to secure appropriate status by the required timescales to continue to reside in the UK following its exit from the EU
|
Details of alternative options considered and rejected:
|
To continue with the current arrangements. However, there is a risk that applications would remain low, particularly across more disadvantaged communities. This could mean that a significant proportion of EEA residents and their families in Rotherham would lose their lawful status in the UK and by extension, their right to work, rent a property, receive medical care or education as well as potentially become subject to enforcement proceedings for removal from the UK
