The sign outside the Home Office in Westminster, London
THE Home Office has been slammed for repeatedly failing to assess the impact of changing a visa route for skilled workers.
A report by the government’s spending watchdog said the department does not have a full understanding of how its skilled worker visa route is operating.
The route was introduced in 2020 in a bid to attract skilled workers to Britain, but significant changes since then “have not always been based on a full assessment of potential impacts,” the National Audit Office (NAO) report said.
The visa system traps workers with abusive employers, creating a vulnerable workforce scared to complain for fear of deportation — that is why we’re campaigning for a ‘common sponsorship’ model instead, writes FAVOUR DAVIDKING
