The decision to bar dependants of overseas care workers from the UK risks jeopardizing recruitment, exacerbating staff shortages, and signals unequal treatment. Care workers, vital for healthcare, deserve equal rights. Family support is crucial for well-being and effectiveness. Discrimination concerns arise, potentially impacting the profession's esteem. Current workers may fear renewal uncertainties, which could affect mental well-being. We urge the Government to revere this decision, emphasize fair treatment, preserve family unity, and recognize care workers' essential role in society.
