Government announces end to overseas recruitment for care workers

The government has announced plans to end international recruitment for care workers.

The government is due to publish and Immigration White Paper on Monday, which will document the changes the government is planning to take to bring down migration.

The Home Office revealed in March that over 470 care providers had had their licence to sponsor international staff suspended since 2022. The government has said that many care workers from overseas are subject to abuse and exploitation.

Due to the crackdown on rogue care providers, around 40,000 workers have been displaced. The government has said that they will be given the opportunity to do the jobs they were promised.

International workers who are already sponsored to work legally in the sector will be able to continue to extend their stay, change sponsors and apply to settle.

Long-term plans are also being drawn up to train 'home-grown' talent into the care sector.
