Exploring experiences of #migration and settlement among migrants from Central and Eastern Europe & Former Soviet Union living in #Scotland.

[SSAMIS @ssamisproject]

@Natasha_Walter couldn't agree more! Our research with people from Eastern Europe living in Scotland also found that all were very keen to learn and improve their English. Classes didn't fit with work hours or location especially in rural areas

Home-hame-дом-dom is a lovely new project drawing directly on @ssamisproject research and using language and creative arts to bring people together.
Proud to be involved

Sct Gvt Minister for Europe, Migration and International Development @BenMacpherson says: "There is growing consensus for Scotland to have additional powers to develop tailored migration policies".

[Ben Macpherson @BenMacpherson]

There is growing consensus for Scotland to have additional powers to develop tailored migration policies. It’s time for the UK govt to listen & enable us to attract & retain people who want to live, work & raise their families in Scotland.

My letter in yesterday’s @TheScotsman.

Scottish Government Expert Advisory Group on Migration and Population report, co-authored by Prof Rebecca Kay, sets out evidence and analysis for Scotland of the implications of the new UK immigration proposals in relation to UK leaving the EU.

This despite its claim that 'The problem with free movement is that ... UK residents have no control over the level and mix of migration'

Given the interim report, its its not surprising that the MAC report comes out against regional migration system. But what is surprising is how little additional analysis there is.

"Scots don't trust the Westminster govt on immigration," Jill Rutter tells @BBCRadioScot Newsdrive. "People are sick of a one-size-fits-all approach to immigration in many places across the UK" @Nationalconvers

[SSAMIS @ssamisproject]

Sad to see the MAC report out today still making this same mistake!

[Dr Sarah Kyambi @SarahKyambi]

This. With bells on

[Dr Sarah Kyambi @SarahKyambi]

Lots of sense in this report including proposal for a 'three-year immigration strategy that replaces the net migration target'

Differentiated immigration approaches gaining ground.

"We need an immigration policy across all skill levels. It is about what our businesses need. The idea that only high-skilled immigration should be allowed is both ignorant and elitist". https://t.co/K4REunbxt1

Despite all our @scottishcare efforts the #Migration Advisory Committee #MAC failed to engage and understand #Scotland’s distinctive #socialcare needs. #careaboutcare https://t.co/ooCVMhF5jt

This report co-authored with @BoswellPol @TaggartKyle @HollPort @SarahKyambi and @kay_becka draws strongly on @ssamisproject research and findings https://t.co/ToZKbi2RwG

[Dr Sarah Kyambi @SarahKyambi]

Our report on immigration after #Brexit is out today. Suggests policymakers must balance a range of economic, demographic and social goals and consider how different programmes are likely to affect migrants decisions. https://t.co/iWjLZ2Xw4k
