The impact on the adult social care sector of ending freedom of movement is being investigated through an independent review.
The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) have opened a call for evidence as part of their review of adult social care and the impact the ending of freedom of movement has had on the sector. Employers, representative organisations and individuals with relevant knowledge and expertise are being invited to respond to a consultation questionnaire (this link will take you away from our website.)
As part of the overall review, the MAC have specifically been asked to investigate the impact on:
- the adult social care workforce (such as skills shortages) covering the range of caring roles in adult social care including care workers, registered nurses and managerial roles
- visa options for social care workers
- long term consequences for workforce recruitment, training and employee terms and conditions
- any other relevant matters the independent chair deems appropriate which are relevant to the above objectives
Together with Camphill Scotland and the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), the ALLIANCE had written to the UK Government last year, urging that the review take a four-nations approach given the devolved nature of social care. In their commissioning letter (this link will take you away from your website), the UK Government confirmed the MAC can make recommendations relating to devolved matters, and freely consult with the devolved administrations.
Responses to the call for evidence must be submitted by October 29 2021.
