Recommendation 14

If the Government implements a 15-year qualifying period for adult social care workers, we recommend that it takes urgent action to support decent pay and conditions for this group. The Home Office should set out in response to this report the steps it will be taking to support migrant care workers. We have previously recommended that the Home Office explore flexible visa arrangements for workers placed on long routes to settlement, so they are not reliant on their employer for their immigration status.
