answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government takes reports of illegal and unsafe employment practices, including in the social care sector, incredibly seriously. The Government works closely with enforcement bodies, including the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA). Any information regarding allegations of Modern Slavery practices should be referred to the GLAA. In addition, the Government is guided by the Director of Labour Market Enforcement strategy, which includes an assessment of the scale and nature of non-compliance across all sectors, which enables the enforcement bodies to target their activity in areas of greatest concern.</p><p> </p><p>Employers in the health and care sector are expected to adhere to the Department for Health and Social Care’s code of practice in their recruitment and support of overseas employees. This is in the process of being updated and will include stronger guidance on ensuring fairness in recruitment practices and setting out clear routes of escalation for anyone with concerns about exploitative recruitment or employment practices to ensure they can be fully investigated by the appropriate organisation.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office’s sponsor licence system also places clear and binding requirements and obligations on employers looking to recruit and manage overseas employees. Should an employer be found to be in breach of these requirements we will take action and can remove their ability to recruit from overseas.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster grouped question UIN 33970 question first answered 18/07/2022 09:56:56 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2022 answer text <p>With the exception of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, any individual who has arrived in the UK through dangerous, illegal and unnecessary methods since 1 January 2022 may be considered for relocation to Rwanda. Decisions will be taken on a case-by-case basis, and nobody will be relocated if it is unsafe or inappropriate for them.</p><p>Everyone considered for relocation will be screened and have access to legal advice.</p><p>We have published our Inadmissibility guidance on GOV.UK to make clearer provisions for removals to a safe third country under a model like the MEDP Partnership.</p><p>Those with family links in the UK, who want to be considered for entry to the UK, should seek to do so via safe and legal routes. Nobody needs to put their lives into the hands of criminal people smuggling gangs by making dangerous and irregular journeys. People with family in the UK may still be relocated to Rwanda subject to a detailed consideration of their Article 8 rights under the Human Rights Act.</p> answering member constituency Clwyd South answering member printed Simon Baynes question first answered 15/07/2022 08:25:50 answering member 4800 label Biography information for Simon Baynes
