NEW Points-based immigration system
From 1 January 2021, free movement will end and the UK will introduce a points-based immigration system.
The new system will treat EU and non-EU citizens equally and transform the way in which all migrants come to the UK to work.
The campaign, which has been translated across 26 EU languages, kicked off on 11 November across most countries and channels and will continue into December, with a second phase planned for January to March 2021.

Somerset Diverse Communities (SDC) has been helping us since the very beginning, they are always there for us, giving us advice and support whenever we need it.
We believe SDC support has made a major contribution in bringing all the diverse communities in Somerset together through multicultural events and activities and BBA Somerset would like to continue to work with SDC in the years ahead.
