The new British passport, at the Home Office, central London, July 18, 2023
SOCIAL care leaders felt blindsided by recently announced changes to visa rules banning care workers from bringing their families to Britain, MPs heard today.
Care England chief executive Professor Martin Green said they have grave concerns that the government’s move could drive people from the sector.
He criticised a lack of consultation with the sector, saying it left leaders “particularly concerned, annoyed and irritated.”
