Life in the UK: Moving and Working Webinar

About the Webinar

Moving to the UK comes with a long list of practical questions. Where do you register for healthcare? How does council tax work? What should you know before choosing where to live? This webinar is designed to give new arrivals, visa holders, and families preparing to relocate a clearer idea of what to expect.

The session covers the everyday systems and services that people usually need to understand during their first few weeks in the UK, including GP registration, school admissions, public transport, local councils, and access to support. It also touches on British culture and the kinds of practical decisions that can make settling in smoother.

You will come away with a better understanding of what to organise before you move, what to prioritise when you arrive, and how to make informed choices as you begin building your life in the UK.

Joining instructions and webinar links will be sent to the email address used during registration 24 hours before the session.

This webinar starts at 10:00am UK time.
