Ensuring Legal Compliance: Immigration Challenges for Care Sector

Jul 09, 2024

Navigating the new immigration rules can be a challenging task for care managers in the UK. Recent changes in the past four months have brought about significant impacts on overseas workers in the care sector and the businesses that employ them.

One of the key changes that care sector management must now consider is the tightening of rules regarding dependents. New migrant care workers and senior care workers are no longer allowed to bring their partners or children on their visas. This change, effective as of March, highlights the importance of reviewing staffing needs and supporting workers who may be affected by this new regulation.

Furthermore, businesses in the care sector now face increased responsibilities and potential costs for non-compliance with immigration laws. Penalties for employing individuals without the appropriate immigration permission have tripled, emphasising the need for robust compliance procedures and regular audits to ensure adherence to relevant legislation.
Additionally, care providers in England are now required to be registered with the Care Quality Commission to sponsor new care workers under the Skilled Worker route. This may impact recruitment strategies for businesses that rely on overseas staff and did not previously require CQC registration.

As the landscape of immigration policy continues to evolve, care sector businesses need to stay informed, strengthen compliance protocols, and create a supportive working environment for all staff members. By taking a proactive approach, businesses can navigate these changes effectively and ensure legal compliance while attracting and retaining a skilled workforce which can take several weeks or even months.
