Review safe visa routes for high-demand labour sectors, creating more routes.
Recommendation
The Government must review safe visa routes for sectors with high demand for labour. This review must consider whether more safe routes can be created to address demand.

The government's response discusses the appointment process for the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, completely deflecting from the recommendation to review and potentially create more safe visa routes for sectors with high labour demand.
