This disk is designed to welcome willing workers (www) and their families to the UK.

Each of the buttons on the menu to the right will open up one or more files.

Everything is written simply in your own language.

The content is intended to help you to:

• Settle happily in the UK
• Find suitable, safe and properly-paid work
• Find suitable and safe accommodation
• Improve your education and learn good English
• Contribute to the economy through work and taxes
• Access services like education, health and childcare
• Handle money and pay your bills
• Comply with laws and stay out of trouble
• Get all sorts of help that you might need
• Deal with emergencies (and, if possible, avoid them)

In many cases we have provided 24/7 telephone numbers and direct links to critical websites. So this disk is an open-ended resource. Using it is very easy, and it is intended to help you to hit the ground running! In fact we think that most UK citizens do not have such a resource at hand, so it should be immensely useful to you and your family.

Enjoy your stay in the UK. This country is strong because it has often been invaded during its history by people who have come here to work, to contribute, and to make a happy life. On that basis we welcome you, your families, your skills and enthusiasm, and your contribution to the budget!
