The UK Government has launched a landmark consultation, A Fairer Pathway to Settlement, proposing a new “earned settlement” model that would double the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain and link eligibility to contribution, integration, and compliance.
Join Partners Natasha Catterson and Louise Haycock, Shuyeb Muquit (UK Government Affairs Director), and Harry Goldstraw (Manager) for a concise briefing on what’s changing, what remains uncertain, and what actions employers should consider.
Agenda highlights:
- A clear overview of what is known and not known
- Case studies: dependants, taxable income, and transitional scenarios
- What is or isn’t under consultation and employer engagement priorities (dependents, homemakers and transitional provisions)
- Practical steps to prepare HR and mobility programmes
