Can the student work? Under what major restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether the student may work, the main restrictions and the family position.

How long does the status last, how is it renewed, and what officially documented post-study work or residence possibilities exist?

A resident permit is normally issued for one year and renewed annually; a student can apply for an extension of stay for study if they produce evidence of regular attendance; a foreign national or Commonwealth citizen who did not enter as a student or prospective student would be refused an extension for study. The official source does not state a post-study work or residence option.
