ARIA has ONE seat allocated for a representative on each of the following panels:

IND (AFTER ENTRY)

UK VISAS

ASYLUM AND IMMIGRATION TRIBUNAL (AIT)

WORK PERMITS UK

DETENTION AND BAIL

The representative nominated by the Association is the person expected to attend at the appropriate pre-scheduled meetings for each panel.  It is only the named representative permitted to attend unless a substitute needs to attend in their place should the nominated representative be unable to attend.   Although dates of meetings are provided, these are provided for information only and not as an invitation for any person in the Association to attend any meeting.

Should any member wish to raise an agenda item at any of the meetings, this must be done through the appropriate nominated ARIA representative who will report back to the Association after the meeting.

In order that all members are aware of requests for agenda items etc, it is proposed these items and agenda matters be displayed on the appropriate page for the meeting.  Also, appropriate pages will include: the dates of the next meetings, information/minute details of past meetings, names and contact details for the appropriate representatives, and the facility for members to contact appropriate representatives to advise of Agenda items etc.

AGENDA ITEMS

Representatives will be responsible for lodging Agenda items with the secretaries of the appropriate meetings at the time Agenda items are requested.  Dates by which Agenda items are required will be published, but in general are 2 to 3 weeks before the meeting is due to take place.  This length of time is required to enable Agenda items to be investigated by the Chairpersons prior to the meeting to enable comprehensive responses to be provided at the time the meeting takes place.

Members of ARIA should lodge items with the appropriate ARIA representatives as soon as possible and not wait until the meeting is about to take place.  This will ensure the appropriate ARIA representative is fully aware of all matters to be provided on the Agenda and to be discussed well in advance of the meeting.  Late Agenda items will not be considered after the 'agenda cut off' date for the appropriate meeting. 

Reports back to the Association by the appropriate representative will be provided as soon as possible after the meeting has taken place and / or the minutes are provided to the ARIAS Secretary.

PUBLICATION OF MINUTES OF MEETINGS

We have been advised generally Minutes of User panel meetings are not for public release, however appropriate extracts of Minutes can be provided to ensure matters are reported back in an appropriate manner, and all information for Members is published and for their attention.
