Guernsey is part of a group of Islands located in the English Channel between France and the UK. Though independently governed, the Channel Islands are under the protection of the British Crown. Guernsey is the second largest island, with a population of approximately 60,000, on an area of twenty five square miles. Whilst the Island is not in the European Union (EU), it does have a special relationship with it. VisitGuernsey Thisisguernsey website

Due to the size of the Island, its offshore status and the density of the population, strict controls have been imposed on who is allowed to live and work here. All employees require an up to date ‘Right to Work’ document issued by the local Housing Authority confirming that they are lawfully housed.
