<p>The Government does not anticipate leaving the European Union without a deal and
remains committed to reaching a deal before the 29 March 2019. We also recognise the
importance of ensuring that the social care system has the nurses, carers and other
health professionals that it needs. The EU workforce in the social care sector is
absolutely essential to its proper functioning and we deeply care about those who
provide the vital care services that patients expect and deserve.</p><p>It is likely,
however, that there will be some decrease in the flow of so-called lower skilled workers
from abroad. In recognition of this, on 12 February the Government launched a new
national adult social care recruitment campaign. The campaign, ‘Every Day is Different’
showcases how rewarding and varied social care careers can be, with opportunities
for progression and professional development. The campaign will run across February
and March and raise the image and profile of the sector and encourage people with
the right values to apply for current vacancies. The Government also continues to
work with its delivery partner Skills for Care to provide a range of resources and
practical toolkits for providers to help attract, train and retain staff.</p>
