We talk to School Nurse and EU national Dina Mendez about the coming deadline for application for Settled Status on the 31st June 2021.
Is this deadline a hidden crisis? "Windrush number 2?" A buried scandal that we have somehow not been aware of up until now? Do you know what challenges your colleagues and families are facing in their application for settled status? What should you do if you haven't yet managed to get confirmation of your own settled status? What do you need to know to protect the children and families you are working with?
Have you let your EU colleagues know that you care? That they are not alone and that you stand beside them?
We discuss all the things you didn't know, and NEED TO KNOW about Brexit and the impact it is still having right now.
