UK Home Office Orders Children as Young as Five to Leave Under New Care Worker Rules
Letters have been sent to children as young as five telling them they must leave the UK, even though their parents hold valid care worker visas extended until 2031. Since March 2024, new Home Office rules bar care workers from bringing dependants, but these letters target families who arrived before the ban. A pregnant woman and school-age children face deportation despite paying thousands in visa fees and taxes. Surveys show that extending the settlement period from five to fifteen years could drive migrant carers away, threatening 4.2 million hours of weekly care. Critics say the policy forces workers to choose between essential jobs and their families. It seems these JAPA dreams amount to economic slavery in disguise. Why profit from skilled migrants only to deport their dependants after they had legal permission to stay?
