Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department take steps to support workers on the health and care worker visa to find an alternative sponsor in the event that their initial sponsor has its 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.
