Number of care workers who accessed support via International Recruitment Fund
Dear Department of Health and Social Care,
Care workers on the Health and Care Worker visa, whose sponsor had their licence revoked, have been receiving emails from the Home Office, signposting them to their Regional Partnership for support with finding a new visa sponsor. The work of the 16 Regional Partnerships is financed by the International Recruitment Fund (£15 million in 2024/2025).
For each Regional Partnership, could you please provide the total number of care workers (in the circumstances described above) who had:
1) Contacted their Regional Partnership in order to access the support services
2) Been successfully rematched with a new visa sponsor
If a breakdown is unavailable by Regional Partnership, please provide aggregate figures.
Yours faithfully,
Andrei Savitski
