order to ensure resident EEA nationals and their family members understand how and
by when to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme, the Home Office has put in place a comprehensive
communications and engagement plan, using all available channels to reach our audiences
– such as marketing, presentations, email updates, toolkits and webinars.</p><p>The
Home Office delivered a £4 million marketing campaign last year to encourage resident
EEA nationals to apply and further campaign activity was undertaken earlier this year.
Alongside this, we have also undertaken extensive engagement and outreach with stakeholder
groups, including employers, local authorities and community organisations. No-one
will be left behind, which is why we are working in partnership with representatives
of vulnerable groups and other experts to make sure everyone knows what they need
to do and has the right level of support.</p>
