Milestones

We urge the Government to pause the visa closure and engage directly with the care sector. We believe changes must not proceed until domestic staffing can safely meet care demand without harming service users or risking provider collapse.

We think this policy risks a national care crisis. Thousands of elderly and disabled people rely on carers daily. We believe overseas staff are necessary to fill critical gaps. We are concerned that removing this route may lead to missed visits, service closures, and real harm. We urge the Government to act to protect lives and stabilise the care sector.
