Details
This guidance is for regional and sub regional partnerships to develop solutions to prevent and respond to exploitative employment practices in their areas and support continuity of care provision. £16 million was made available to regional partnerships over 2024 to 2025.
Over the past year we have seen a rise in reports of unethical employment practices in the sector. The government is committed to:
- continuing to use international recruitment to support the adult social care workforce
- increasing its focus on ensuring the ethical and sustainable employment of international recruits within the care system
