We would like to remind you about the São Paulo Fair – the second event to be organised this year by the English Language Promotions Group (British Council, English UK, UK Trade & Investment and VisitBritain).

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has increased its influenza pandemic alert level to 6. This means that there is now evidence of increased and sustained human-to-human transmission of the swine flu virus across a number of global regions.

You should have recently received an invitation from the UK Border Agency to a series of events to inform sponsors of the next phases of the roll-out of Tier 4 beginning this autumn. 

The UK Border Agency will soon be circulating a letter to all Tier 4 Registered Sponsors to inform you about the Bulk Data Transfer Implementation Toolkit - to be used by sponsors to migrate some key information from their IT systems directly into the Sponsor Management System.

The Department of Children Schools and Families has produced a range of guidance documents on Swine Flu for the education sector.
