We are working with the Refugee, Asylum and Migration Policy (RAMP) project on an inquiry that looks at the impact of the new Immigration Rules in the UK.

The inquiry aims to collect feedback from stakeholders on the positive and negative impacts of the rules, introduced at the start of this year, on organisations, employees, and the wider economy and communities. It also looks at the how these stakeholders are responding and adapting to the new rules.

We are looking for your help, insight and feedback in this short survey. If you manage human resources and/or immigration, you will likely be best placed to answer this survey. Please also share this survey across your network as we are keen to get as many responses as possible. The results of this survey and follow up interviews will provide the basis for a report which will make a number of recommendations to the Home Office based on the responses received.

We think this represents a great opportunity to make your voices heard. The closing date is Wednesday, 18 May and the survey will take around 15 minutes.

Complete the survey here
