The motion

That the Parliament recognises the work of the Corbenic Camphill Community, near Dunkeld, which has provided residential and day care for adults with complex and severe social, emotional, intellectual and learning disabilities since 1978; understands that it has grown into a community of approximately 120 people, 40 of whom are adults in need of special care, who live and work with each other in healthy social relationships based on mutual care and respect; commends the establishment of the Poetry Path, which has been created by those who live in or attend the Corbenic Community, and combines the work of poets who live and work in Scotland with an accessible path through the quiet corners and magical places in the Corbenic estate; notes that the Camphill movement has attracted young people to Scotland for decades to live and work in these communities, but that volunteers and workers from EU27 nations are concerned about their immigration status post-Brexit; considers that many health and social care organisations rely heavily on workers from other parts of the EU and could not continue in their present form without that support, and calls on the UK Government to carry out an independent evaluation of the impact of Brexit on the health and social care sectors across the UK.
