Please join our webinar on Wednesday 14th May 2025 @10.30-11.30 for more information about the recent changes to sponsorship.
Please note you'll need to sign up for a free Care & Support West members account to manage your attendance through our online community platform. This is completely free and does not require a paid membership.
This webinar will address the three changes to sponsorship that the Home Office implemented on 9th April, including the new requirement to prioritise displaced sponsored care workers over new overseas workers or those on other immigration routes, along with the potential impact these changes will have on sponsorship for care providers in BNSSG.
These changes were implemented quickly and may have a big impact on care providers across BNSSG, but it will also change how care providers will interact with the BNSSG councils and SW ADASS (who are responsible for supporting displaced workers locally) and engage with workers who are in the redeployment pool.
Adrian Henderson from RWK Goodman will present an overview of the three major changes which the UK government has just introduced and the impact that these changes may have on care provider's recruitment process, and Matt Britt will walk us through how the BNSSG councils will help you to engage with the process to support displaced workers, and how the BNSSG councils will be supporting SW ADASS, our regional partnership, to ensure that you can access and are able to support the workers in the redeployment pool. A representative from SW ADASS will provide an overview of how care providers can engage with the redeployment pool, and how they will confirm with the HO that care providers have adhered to the government's requirements.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
