The UK Home Office is inviting input from anyone with an interest in the future of the earned settlement route. This is your opportunity to participate in a consultation that could shape the experience of migrants who build their lives, work and communities in the United Kingdom.
Why your voice matters
If you have lived experience of the settlement system, if your work involves supporting migrants, or if you have insight into the way settlement impacts individuals, families and communities — your feedback is vital. The Home Office is keen to understand how the earned settlement route is working and how it might be improved for the benefit of all who rely on it.
What the consultation covers
You will be asked to reflect on key questions such as:
- How the current earned settlement route serves its users — both strengths and challenges.
- What changes might better support individuals in achieving settlement through work, community contribution or other qualifications.
- How policy, practice and communications can be designed to be clear, accessible and fair.
- The implications of any proposed changes — particularly on migrants already in the UK, employers, support agencies and the wider economy.
How to take part
Participation takes just a few minutes. By completing the online form, you’ll share your perspective directly with decision-makers. Your responses will be treated in confidence and help inform future policy — transparent and accountable.
What happens next
Responses submitted by the deadline will feed into the Home Office’s analysis and may influence recommendations, revisions and the design of the settlement route going forward. If you care about how settlement pathways shape lives and opportunities in the UK, this is a chance to make a difference.
