One way of interpreting 'settled communities' would be to look at the UKBA/Home Office definition of 'settled'
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/glossary?letter=S
1.
Settled
You are normally resident in the United Kingdom with no immigration restriction on the length of your stay. To be free of immigration restriction you must have the right of abode or indefinite leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom.
2.
Settled status
You are normally resident in the United Kingdom with no immigration restriction on the length of your stay. To be free of immigration restriction you must have the right of abode or indefinite leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom.
Based on this, EU migrants would be unaffected - they are settled. The likely victims of the cuts will be asylum seekers/refugees/and possibly spouses who have yet to attain settled status/citizenship/indefinite leave to remain.
Only time will tell I guess.

Matt Smith

I would agree with Cheryl. A worse case scenario might be a return to the 3-year rule as in Wales and N Ireland.

They might try to exclude refugees/asylum seekers as well as Eastern European workers. I do think spouses of UK citizens should be a priority, but given the well-documented exploitation of some migrant workers and the conditions under which asylum seekers live, I would hate to see these groups excluded from provision. Or is the whole idea that there will be a large pool of people who will work for less than the minimum wage and not demand the legal minimum in terms of working conditions because they are unable to find out what these are, in order to increase employers' profits?

Settled communities by difficulty of definition is a fuzzy category. The govt will probably ram it through with normal political 'panache' and then the games will begin.

Bearing in mind the creed of the current government, I would have thought that 'settled communities' are most likely to be retired magistrates in the Home Counties.
Has anyone done a comparison of the relative costs of means-testing the winter fuel allowance vs reducing ESOL provision?

Hi
Can anyone shed more light on the definition of "settled communities" as stated in yesterday's comment from BIS on ESOL funding?
Reductions to key BIS activities include the ending of Train to Gain and replacing it with an SME focused training programme, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) funding for people not in settled communities, and the Regional Development Agencies will also be abolished in 2012.
