🚨 IMPORTANT CHANGE TO UK IMMIGRATION RULES
Skilled Workers who are victims of modern slavery: know your rights.
From 9 October 2026, formally recognised victims of modern slavery on the Skilled Worker route can leave abusive sponsors and undertake lawful work for any employer for the remainder of their existing visa.
This is a significant change for workers who have experienced exploitation, including those in the care sector.
If you have experienced threats, exploitation or abuse by your employer or sponsor, you may have options available to you.
At Legal Rights Partnership, our immigration team can advise you on your circumstances and the options available.

Eligibility depends on formal recognition as a victim of modern slavery and individual circumstances.
