If you have never used the Bulletin Boards, do please take a look. These are found from the link marked 'discussions'. (There is a Test/Training bulletin board which can be used for 'first timers' and this will be used in the future for training notes etc). You can look at messages on the boards by clicking on the titles below. You will then see a list of messages (with most recent at the bottom of the page). Clicking on the title of a message will take you to the text of that message (or any replies).

The 'Queries' Bulletin Board is for practitioners only. i.e. not Adjudicators or Home Office reps.

The 'Feedback' Bulletin Board is important for suggestions on the future improvement of the site and for members to notify EIN of errors and corrections needed

The 'What's new' Bulletin Board is the place to look for highlights of developments in law and policy, or for announcements of new publications etc. It will also carry, with the assistance of members, updates on media and government items.

If you have never written directly to the EIN Bulletin Boards, try it on the Test/Training board. It is easy to post a message - simply click on the 'add new' button at the bottom of the Bulletin Board. The site will automatically fill in your contact details from your membership information. Just write the message and press the 'Send' button. Likewise you can reply to a message simply by hitting the reply button at the bottom of that message. If you would prefer to reply directly to the person who posted the message you can click on the link with their name in it & it will open an email to that person (not everyone will post a public reply, so if it looks like there has been no reply to a message always remember that people may have replied directly).

Finally you can sign up for a mailing list that is linked to the Bulletin Board. If you do this, you will be asking to receive copies of messages posted on to the Bulletin Board. This is very useful if you want to be kept aware of recent developments.

NB - To get the most out of the facilities of the EIN, it is advised that you make periodic visits to the news and case law boards.
