Claim: The United Kingdom government plans to prevent overseas care staff from bringing family members with them to the UK when they are recruited for care work.
Is this true or false?
Verdict: True
The British Home Secretary James Cleverly has announced a plan to slash migration levels and prevent ‘abuse’ of the immigration system.
From March 2024, the UK government plans to  increase the earning threshold for overseas workers to encourage businesses to look to British talent first and invest in their workforce,
The government will also increase the minimum income required for British citizens and those settled in the UK who want their family members to join them.
The move practically bars care workers earning below £38,700 annually from migrating with their dependants.
