The Independent Chief Inspector is interested in assessing the extent to which the Home Office's immigration functions support the social care sector. To that end, it is expected that this inspection will adopt a broad perspective on the interaction between the UK's immigration system and the social care sector, examining such areas as: the effectiveness and efficiency of the health and care worker visa route the extent and quality of communication and engagement between the Home Office and the social care sector the current suitability of the Home Office's licencing system for health and care worker visa sponsorship the effectiveness of the Home Office's compliance requirements on sponsors, including how these safeguard employees from exploitation the Home Office's progress towards delivery of their transformation plan, 'The UK's Points-Based Immigration System Sponsorship Roadmap' (published in August 2021) and the effectiveness of any implemented changes.
