<p>Subject to parliamentary approval, we have sought powers to conduct a pilot phase
of Managed Migration, to track up to a maximum of 10,000 claimants through the process.
The goal of the pilot is to learn as much as possible and to increase numbers as slowly
and gradually as necessary, and there will be safeguards in the process to ensure
that no-one is left behind. We will report on our findings from the pilot before bringing
forward legislation to extend managed migration.</p><p> </p><p>We have said that all
individuals will be tracked all the way through the pilot process and understanding
the reasons for unsuccessful applications will be an important part of the pilot.
However, there will be safeguards in place to protect those who might otherwise fail
to make a successful claim.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is committed to finding those
who will need support and will help them through the process, including home visits
where necessary. This will give an indication of the size of the support requirement
which will be key information for any future scaling.</p><p> </p><p>Our stakeholders
and partners will also play a key role and we will work with partners to ensure we
reach people who might otherwise be missed, and the further development of these delivery
relationships is a major aspect of this phase of the programme.</p>
