The EU Settlement Scheme - Raising Awareness We would like your help in encouraging EU nationals who live and work in South Cambridgeshire to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme.
Nationally it is estimated only 30% of EU Nationals had applied for Settled Status by June 2019.
Raising the awareness of the scheme and the support that is available to help eligible residents to apply will help ensure that we do not lose valued members of the South Cambridgeshire community and workforce.
