We ask the Government to allow all Care Workers (SOC 6135) and Senior Care Workers (SOC 6136) to bring dependants under the Skilled Worker visa route. We feel the current policy has significantly affected family life, for care workers who are separated from spouses and children for long periods.

Allow all dependent children of Skilled Workers to pay home tuition fees
We are concerned the proposed changes to ILR routes could significantly affect the hopes and dreams of many dependent children of Skilled Worker visa holders, possibly hindering their goals, postponing their degrees due to high international tuition fees and entering lower skilled jobs.
Allow care worker visa holders to change employer
We want the government to replace the current visa scheme for care workers, where care worker is bound to the employers who have sponsored their visa, to a new scheme which allows the visa holders switch jobs freely still within the health sector without the risk of losing their visa.
Allow all ILR holders to bring parents and in-laws to UK as dependants
We want the UK Government to amend immigration rules to allow people with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) to bring their parents and parents-in-law to live with them as dependants, even if they are not financially dependent or require long-term personal care.
Allow Carers/Family of children given them by social services to claim benefit
Legislate to allow benefits currently given to the birth parents of children who are currently being cared for by social services or have been passed to family members or other carers to instead be given to those family members or carers doing the caring.
Allow full-time students who provide 35+ hours care to receive Carer’s Allowance
Amend the eligibility rules for Carer’s Allowance so that people in full-time education who provide at least 35 hours of care per week can receive Carer’s Allowance, provided all other conditions are met.
