The 2011 census found that there were 579,121 Polish nationals resident in the UK at that time of polling. There is no data available on the exact contribution of Polish immigrants to UK GDP since 2010 - it is extremely complex to isolate the contribution of just one group of people to GDP, given the wide variety of economic activity that they will be involved in.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
However, many economists believe that Polish migrants have had a positive impact on the UK economy since 2004 as they tend to be of working age when they arrive and contribute more to the economy through taxes and consumption than they take out via public services.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
By broad industry definitions, Polish nationals work across all industries but are most often found in Manufacturing and Distribution, Hotels and Restaurants. By standard occupation definitions, Polish nationals are found in all occupational areas but are most often in skilled trades, process, plant and machine operative occupations and elementary occupations.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found that the primary driver for determining an individual's fiscal contribution is whether they are in employment. The latest Labour Force survey data for January to March 2014 states that the unemployment rate amongst Polish nationals was 6.2%, lower than the UK average of 6.6%.<\/p>

The Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA) operates a national complaints handling scheme for England and Wales, under provisions in the 2004 Higher Education Act. The OIA can review complaints made by students against Higher Education Institutions if they remain unresolved, once a student has completed the institution's own complaints procedures. This may include, for example, complaints from students about unfair treatment by university staff. The service is free of charge to students.<\/p>
<\/p>
Separate arrangements are in place in Scotland and Northern Ireland.There are, however, some complaints that OIA cannot consider. These relate to concerns about admission to a university and to academic judgement. In the latter case, OIA can look at whether an institution has followed its rules and regulations in making an award to a student.<\/p>

All committees operate according to the guidelines and standards outlined in the <\/em>Code of Practice for Science Advisory Committees (CoPSAC[1]). Any advisory committee that is classified as a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) is also subject to formal Cabinet Office procedures including a full triennial review. <\/em><\/p> <\/em><\/p> <\/p> CoPSAC is underpinned by The Principles of Scientific Advice to Government', published in 2010 (Annex A to CoPSAC), and the \u2018Nolan' principles for public life (the \u201cSeven Principles of Public Life\u201d (Annex C).<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The principles \u201cprovide a foundation on which independent scientific advisers and government departments should base their operations and interactions\u201d. Members are also expected to abide by the Nolan Principles, which include the principles of objectivity and accountability.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Any \u201cissues of concern over the application of the Principles, or other guidance\u201d should be raised to the Chief Scientific Adviser. \u201cIf the matter of concern cannot be effectively resolved or is especially serious CSAs should approach the Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA) and Ministers should approach the GCSA and the Minister for Science. The matter will be examined against a clear set of criteria, which include a breach of the Principles or CoPSAC.\u201d<\/p> <\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> [1] https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/278498/11-1382-code-of-practice-scientific-advisory-committees.pdf<\/a><\/p> <\/p>"}
