Government’s cap on migrants ruled illegal by the High Court…

17th  December 2010

Overseas social work professionals and care workers will now find it easier to obtain a UK work permit, following the removal of the Government’s temporary immigration cap.  The cap was ruled to be illegal by the High Court, and has been quashed.

The decision is good news for the social care sector, allowing skilled foreign workers the opportunity to contribute to our services.  The English Community Care Association had claimed that the cap made it impossible for the sector to provide continuity of care, because all new visa applications for skilled care workers from outside Europe had been rejected since July.
