Recommendation (the committee's words)
Replicating the initial success of the Settlement Scheme will be more difficult in the next phase; rather than one deadline for millions of people, there are now many individual deadlines. We welcome the Home Office’s plans to send individual reminders, but this relies on EU citizens keeping their contact details up to date. The Government should therefore make full use of community networks, and maintain helplines and resolution centres, to support holders of pre-settled status in applying on time.
