Care workers say ‘devastating’ new visa rules hurt families

New measures to cut net migration have been described as 'cruel' and 'catastrophic' for the care sector.

From next week, overseas care workers will be banned from bringing dependents with them on their visa.

The UK Government argues it will stop abuse of the system, but with around 15% of the workforce coming from abroad, its been branded a “hostile, xenophobic” policy that will only harm a sector already in crisis.
