Migration and settlement survey |
This survey is for workers in the public services who came to the UK to work on a work permit. All the information you provide will only be used anonymously - we will not reveal your identity - to help UNISON respond to a Government consultation on work permits and settlement in the UK.
The Government wants to remove from most people the possibility of applying for indefinite leave to remain and settle in the UK. Work permits would only be issued for three years, with a maximum extension to five years before workers and their family must leave the UK.
We believe the proposals the Government is making will have serious consequences for UNISON members, the services they work in, and the people who rely on them. We believe that if people have no prospect of settling in the UK or bringing their families to settle, this will stop workers coming to work in the UK's public services where they are desperately needed.
We want to gather examples and case studies to demonstrate this and seek to persuade the Government to rethink its plans.
