End the ban of care workers bringing dependants to the UK

Open for signatures 43 signatures

What the petition asks

End the ban on care workers being able to bring their dependants to the UK. Allow them to sponsor spouses, children, or other dependants, even if their sponsorship is issued after 11 March 2024.
We ask the UK Government to allow care workers already living and working in the UK to be able to sponsor their dependants, including those who are already in the UK.

We believe the Government should allow them because if they agree to support and contribute to care services, it could help NHS and Care sector. We request an end to this ban to prevent family separation, as well as ensure fairness and stability for care workers who support the UK care sector.
