The Chief Inspector holds the first of his new Migration Forums with a focus on the education sector.
The new forum joins the other ICIBI stakeholder groups that advise on specific areas such as maritime, aviation, adults at risk, and refugee and asylum issues.
Representatives from Universities UK, the Russell Group, UK Council for International Student Affairs, MillionPlus and the Boarding Schools’ Association attended the meeting, which provided an opportunity for the Chief Inspector to hear first-hand about their experience of the immigration system as it relates to the education sector.
Following the forum the Chief Inspector said,
I am grateful to those who attended today’s inaugural meeting and contributed to the productive discussions. I look forward to our next engagement and the opportunity for the group to assist me in shaping and influencing my future inspection programme.
