Our event partners Mihai @RomaSupport and @drowenparker @sheffielduni covered key issues identified through their research, on how the EUSS was implemented and issues in accessing it, particularly for those with limited literacy/digitally excluded. (2/6)

Today the APPG on Migration and @APPGGTR co-hosted a panel discussion on the ongoing challenges with the European Union Settlement Scheme for Roma communities in the UK. The event was chaired by Olivia Blake MP and was also in partnership with @RomaSupport and @sheffielduni.

Mihai Bica Calin from @RomaSupport and @drowenparker from @sheffielduni presented their research on the struggles Roma EU citizens face with the EU Settlement Scheme, particularly in proving continuous residence, using digital status, and accessing support services.
Important to take note. Very unclear and confusing email sent to EU citizens in UK!
Many of you have reported receiving an email about #eVisas from the Home Office which is very confusing.
People granted status under the EU Settlement Scheme should already have a UKVI account and be able to see their digital status - which is now referred to as an eVisa.

Costa is due to be forced on a flight at 9:45 this morning. Who does it benefit to deport an EU citizen whose application is still pending with the Home Office? His whole life is here:his home, job and friends. This cruelty needs to stop @YvetteCooperMP.

🌍If you've got a new passport or ID since applying to the EU Settlement Scheme, make sure to update your UKVI account ASAP to avoid delays at the UK border.

Our new research on the benefit cap, published today by @CASE_LSE and reported by @guardian, shows that thousands of families are being put at risk of destitution by a policy that drives family incomes down to very low levels theguardian.com/society/arti…

It's deeply concerning how Aké Achi, the founder of @migrantsatwork and @black_europeans has been treated.
It's crucial the government ensures people can safely report exploitation at work and get the support they need to live with security in the UK.

A new government but it's still the worst of both worlds for universities.
Too 'public' to be private businesses permitted to set their own fees and required to pay wages at market rates, too 'private' to be public institutions deemed worthy of strategic investment

EU citizens and family members in the UK must have their rights upheld. @AIRECentre along with 76 other charities and legal firms, has written to the Prime Minister asking him for policy changes on #CitizensRights & to improve UK/EU relations theguardian.com/politics/art…

Together with @the3million and 75 partners from the migration sector, we signed this open letter asking the Prime Minister to fix the EU Settlement Scheme.
EU citizens and family members in the UK must have their rights upheld.
If the Prime Minister is serious about repairing the relationship between the UK and the EU then he has a golden opportunity to do so by taking quick steps to fix the EU Settlement Scheme.

Our research on Roma EU citizens' struggles with the EU Settlement Scheme offers broader insights for the new Labour government. Quick policy win: address the limitations of the prevailing 'digital by default' approach and make life for resident migrants in the UK easier
