We want the Government to reverse the changes that removed the ability of Ofsted-regulated children’s residential care homes to sponsor skilled workers, SOC codes 6135 and 6136.

Review Working Hours Sponsorship Rules for Domiciliary Care Providers & Workers
Many domiciliary care providers rely on visa sponsored workers in their work to support vulnerable adults. We believe current Home Office rules unfairly punish normal hour changes, risking workers’ visas, and that a review to ensure clear, fair rules is urgently needed.
Extend CQC regulation to cover health and care employment agencies
Amend legislation so the Care Quality Commission can regulate employment and recruitment agencies that supply health and care staff.
Introduce legal minimum ratios of care home staff to residents
We call on the Government to introduce minimum staff-to-resident ratios in all care homes, so every resident receives the attention, dignity, and safety they deserve.
Require registration and regulation of all private domiciliary carers in England
We ask the Government to require all English domiciliary carers to undergo mandatory registration, enhanced DBS checks & minimum training requirements. English private carers are not currently required to register with a regulatory body, undergo enhanced DBS checks or meet minimum training standards
Change the 30 free childcare hours to include Ofsted registered nannies
We believe nannies chances of employment are drastically reducing due to the 30 free hours only being offered to childminders and nursery settings, and call on the government to include registered nannies in the offer.
