<p>We are working in partnership with vulnerable group representatives, local authorities
and other experts to make sure we reach everyone.</p><p>We have established a children’s
specific content steering group to develop age-appropriate communications content
and material for children as part of the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) communications
programme.</p><p>This group has members from a range of children’s rights bodies including
legal experts, academics specialising in European children’s rights and communications
professionals.</p><p>The group recognises the need to create communications materials
that provide greater detail on requirements for children to apply to the EU Settlement
Scheme (as well as organisations making applications on behalf of children). Any materials
produced are also intended to empower children and young people to understand their
legal rights as EU citizens in the UK.</p><p>The intention is also to include children
in the development of the content and market-test our products with children, adhering
to all ethical standards, to ensure they are fit-for-purpose. <br> <br>Furthermore,
we are engaging regularly with local authorities regarding their responsibilities
for looked after children who are impacted by the introduction of the EU Settlement
Scheme and are providing guidance to help them manage these often complex cases.</p>
