LIVE CONSULTATIONS

We believe that the people most affected by decisions should have the strongest voice in shaping them.

This page brings together key national and local consultations that impact migrants, refugees, and our wider communities.

Here, you can learn what each consultation is about, why it matters, and how to take part.

Your voice is powerful -

and when our communities speak together, we shape policies that are fairer, safer, and rooted in lived experience.

Home Office Proposal –
“A Fairer Pathway to Settlement”

The Home Office has launched a national consultation on major changes to the UK settlement system —

Settlement refers to a person’s right to live in the UK permanently without any immigration restrictions.

It is also known as Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

These changes would affect anyone who has not yet received ILR,

including refugees, people with limited leave to remain, families, care workers, students, and young people approaching 18.

The government is suggesting a complete overhaul of the settlement process.

These proposals could significantly delay people’s stability and make settlement harder to reach for many communities.

If you would like to contribute insights, suggest additions, or co-sign the final submission, we invite you to get in touch.

We also encourage organisations to involve as many of their community members as possible in the consultation process.

You can review the official consultation document and share your own response directly with the Home Office.

If anything is unclear or you would like help understanding the proposals or completing your response, please contact us.

From 08 January 2026, we will also be holding weekly support sessions every Thursday to guide people through the process.
