Responding to today’s announcement from the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood removing the requirement for migrant care workers already in the UK to wait 15 years for settlement, Community General Secretary Alasdair McDiarmid said:
“In his Labour Conference speech the Prime Minister outlined his ambition for our care sector. That ambition can only be met with the thousands of care workers who keep our care system running, many of whom have come from abroad. The Government’s announcement today on indefinite leave to remain provides clarity and certainty for those workers and our members. We will continue to work with the UK Labour Government to improve our care service, and in time build a National Care Service that will deliver the care the people of our country deserve.”
