The published EUSS figures include non-EEA family members, Irish nationals, and eligible EEA citizens not resident in the UK, none of whom are usually included in ONS estimates of the resident EU population. Furthermore, the population estimates do not take account of people’s migration intentions and will include people who have come to the UK for a range of purposes, including some who have no intention to settle in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 03/02/2020 15:35:46 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

uin	592
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>There is no one definition of vulnerability, and to define vulnerability as a particular set of characteristics or groups could risk us missing particular individuals.</p><p>However, following extensive consultation both internally within the Authority and across Other Government Departments (OGDs,), UKVI has set out the groups likely to be identified as vulnerable and who may therefore have additional needs to be met to enable them to apply for the Scheme. The following key groups are likely to be identified as vulnerable and therefore would have additional needs to be met in order to apply for the Scheme. These may include but are not limited to the following:</p><p>Some elderly people, disabled people and people with serious health conditions (e.g. physical or mental impairment, are socially excluded as a result of their circumstances);</p><p>Those who have experienced modern slavery and/or trafficking;</p><p>Those who have experienced domestic abuse (to include non-violent forms of abuse (emotional, psychological etc);</p><p>Those with no fixed abode (e.g. Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, rough sleepers); Vulnerable children.</p><p>Whilst many EU citizens may only fall under one of these categories, it is by no means an exhaustive list and it is likely that some will have multiple needs which will have to be met in a clear and accessible way.</p><p>The Home Office is in favour of implementing a mixed model approach, which can meet the needs of the diversity of vulnerable EU citizens, enabling a combination of offerings to give citizens the best chance of making their application. This user-needs approach is deployed by a range of other organisations who need to handle vulnerable citizens, including those in OGDs and private sector organisations, such as those providing financial services.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 21/10/2019 15:29:20 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
