But the council continues to work to ensure we're prepared for whatever unfolds. Lambeth wants staff and their families from other European countries to stay following Brexit. We're happy to support you in making an application to the EU Settlement Scheme therefore, Schools HR are offering a series of drop in sessions for school EEA nationals to help you complete your application. The drop-in sessions will be informal to allow you to ask questions however, if there are any questions we can’t answer, we will collate these and come back to you. In order for us to support you in completing the application you are required to bring the following documents to the session: Biometric passport or biometric ID (Either of these documents MUST have a chip) National insurance number The government's EU Settlement Scheme is intended to ensure EEA nationals can continue to live and work here. Immediately following Brexit, EEA nationals and their families will be able to live and work in the UK as normal. The scheme is an important step towards EEA nationals retaining the benefits as a resident of the UK. For example, it will help with changing jobs, agreeing to a tenancy, or opening a bank account. Even if you hold a permanent resident card, you will still need to apply to the settlement scheme.
