Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of introducing a points based immigration system on the number of people entering the UK to work as au pairs from 2021.
The Government set out its plans for the UK’s future points-based immigration system on 19 February.
As has been the case since 2008, the UK’s points-based immigration system will not offer a dedicated route for Au Pairs, but there are other immigration routes which will exist for people who may wish to take up these roles. For example, the UK operates youth mobility schemes with eight countries.
