Home Office announce changes to Health and Care Worker visa route from 11th March 2024

As recently announced by the Home Office, individuals migrating to the UK under the Health and Care Worker visa route will no longer be able to sponsor dependants (partners and children) on their visa from 11th March 2024.
It is important to note that the Home Office have recently published a factsheet on net migration measures that confirms that that the proposed change will NOT affect Care Workers (Occupation Code 6145) or Senior Care Workers (Occupation Code 6146) who are already in the UK under the Health and Care Worker visa route prior to 11th March 2024 but have not yet applied to sponsor their dependants.
