<p>The Scheme Operators are responsible for monitoring pay, conditions, and worker’s
general welfare whilst they are in the UK.</p><p>The Home Office works closely with
DEFRA to monitor the scheme to ensure Scheme Operators adhere to the stringent requirements
set for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the seasonal workers. This includes ongoing
monitoring of the route’s performance, regular communication with Scheme Operators
and ongoing compliance monitoring which is underpinned by compliance visits to both
Scheme Operators and growers, which are carried out by UKVI. Action is taken if concerns
are identified during sponsor visits, with sponsor licences being suspended while
UKVI investigate further.</p>
