| Annotation | This follow-up to the 2015 report 'Moved to care', reviews future workforce shortages in adult social care in England, to take account of the European Union (EU) referendum result on 23 June. It evaluates how many European Economic Area (EEA) migrants in the UK currently working in social care might have the right to remain post-Brexit. It models the impact of Brexit on the social care workforce gap in England in the long term. Two data sources have been used for this report: Skills for Care data on the current make-up of the social care workforce in England from 2016; and Office for National Statistics (ONS) data from 2014 on population projections for the future, including expected migration flows. The report considers: the role of migrants in the social care workforce; the immigration status of current EEA migrants; and the long-term implications of post-Brexit changes to migration policy for the social care workforce. Recommendations are based on which scenarios would work best for the social care workforce and the older and disabled people they support. (RH). |
