From Recruitment to Reality: Exploitation of internationally educated nursing staff in social care
This report examines evidence of exploitative employer practices affecting internationally educated nursing staff in adult social care services across the UK. Drawing on three years of RCN member casework, it highlights the pressures these workers face and how immigration policies and a lack of enforcement and oversight within the sector increase their vulnerability to exploitation. Without intervention, continued exploitation risks the safety of workers, the wider workforce, the stability of services, and the wellbeing of those who rely on adult social care.

A successful National Care Service can end ‘grotesque’ exploitation of migrant registered nurses in the sector, nursing union leader Professor Nicola Ranger says
RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Professor Nicola Ranger, said: “Just a week after the Prime Minister laid out his plans for social care in England, this report exposes the scale of grotesque exploitation taking place in the sector. A National Care Service meeting the needs of an ageing population, with complex conditions, will need to be registered nurse led. We’re the ones with the skill and expertise to make it work, but that cannot happen while so many of our migrant colleagues are being exploited."
