Migrant Workers: Care Workers
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of sponsors of social care visas whose activities have been flagged by (a) local authorities and (b) other bodies as (i) potentially and (ii) actually exploitative by region.
- Answer
-
UKVI respond to referrals from a variety of agencies and individuals. The most recent published data (mid-2025) states that over 550 non-compliant care providers from across the UK have had their sponsor licences revoked. As live investigations are ongoing, this number is likely to increase further.
Investigations relating to the exploitation and the quality of patient care are regulated by the appropriate body, such as the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England.
