Should settlement rules change for people who have already built their lives in the UK?

The debate surrounding proposed Care Worker Settlement Changes continues to grow.

Thousands of care workers came to the UK through legal immigration routes. They filled critical workforce shortages, supported some of society's most vulnerable people and made long-term plans based on the rules in place at the time.

Now, proposed reforms could significantly extend the pathway to settlement for some Health and Care Worker visa holders.

🏥 What could these changes mean for care workers?

📜 Could retrospective immigration changes undermine confidence in the system?

⚖️ Where should the balance lie between immigration control and fairness for existing migrants?

In our latest blog, we examine the proposed reforms, the concerns surrounding retrospective rule changes and the potential impact on care workers already living and working in the UK.
