The Government is deeply concerned by reports of unethical practices relating to international recruits within the adult social care sector. UK Visas and Immigration continue to investigate and take action, alongside partners, where evidence of abuse is found, engaging with the Gangmasters Labour Abuse Authority and other relevant agencies to hold employers to account and working with Department for Health and Social Care to support impacted workers.
