What the petition asks
Please maintain the current 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) for Senior Carers, Care Assistants, and their dependents. Access to public funds can remain restricted until they obtain British citizenship
During our time in the United Kingdom, we have consistently contributed to the country in every meaningful way:
• We pay income tax each month.
• We pay National Insurance contributions.
• We contribute to pension schemes.
• We pay rent, council tax, utility bills, and all other living expenses entirely on our own.
We do not rely on public funds, nor do we intend to. We work hard, earn our livelihood, and fully meet our responsibilities to the country we are proud to serve.
