Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that workers with the Health and Social Care visa are supported to find alternative work if their sponsor has had their licence revoked.

UKVI Compliance Command work with local authorities and the Association of Adult Social Care Directors.

Relevant authorities receive prior notification of suspended and revoked sponsors and the numbers of workers affected by a compliance action.

This allows time for authorities to relocate workers with other care providers in the area and ensure continuity of care provision.

UKVI work proactively with authorities in the timing of revocations and where appropriate delay revocation and cancellation to allow workers the opportunity to find new sponsors.
