An inspection of the immigration system as it relates to the social care sector

“In one notable case, a company which purported to be a care home successfully applied for a licence and subsequently obtained 275 certificates of sponsorship (CoS). After Border Force officers raised suspicions about workers arriving in the UK to work for the company, contact was made with the care home by the Home Office. It was only at this stage that the Home Office found that the care home whose details had been provided for the licence and CoS allocation had no knowledge of the application.”
