This webinar looked at the immigration rules for children, focusing on sole responsibility and related legal tests and evidence where one parent is or will be based on the UK and there is another surviving parent who remains abroad.
Where a child is coming to the UK to live with a parent here and the other parent remains alive and abroad, the Home Office will apply a legal test to determine whether the child should be admitted or have to remain abroad. The key test in most cases is whether the parent coming to or already in the UK has “sole responsibility” for the child.
A particular meaning is ascribed to these words by the Home Office and the courts, and to the less well known “exclusion undesirable” and “normally lives with” tests. This course unpacks these meanings and goes on to consider what evidence would be needed to show the tests are satisfied.
