@colesywhu@CharlotteCGill is the best account I know covering funding to migration charities; it is worth checking with her. I had a quick look on the Charity Commission website, and it seems they have received c. £175million from government contracts and around £19m in grants since 2021.
@NeilDotObrien So interesting to see the pace of change by local authority. I will refer to your chart when looking at council spend.
Some of those London numbers are staggering.
@DDRB_Official The most comprehensive database of Certificate of Sponsorship numbers is @UKDecline ‘s website; it has been recently updated to include numbers from as far back as 2015.
The data is also on a number of publicly available FOIs; the best platform I have found is whatdotheyknow.
🧵Over 500 companies that assigned c.22,000 visa sponsorship certificates for care workers in 2023 are now dissolved or have entered insolvency procedures*.
Doncaster care company ‘GBU Care & Support Services Ltd’ assigned 484 CoS for ‘Skilled Workers’ in ‘23. It incorporated in ‘22 and dissolved in ‘24. It has now been removed from the visa sponsor register
Its registered address, according to Google maps, is shown below.🧵1/5
@latheron_pamela Children’s homes are on my list. I am extremely worried about the rise in children’s homes that are not registered with Ofsted; I did not think this was allowed and it is a clear safeguarding concern.
@ChadwickLe9942 Thank you! I was interested in the building. Has two signs outside; ‘Created Academy School’ and ‘Created Academy Fitness Centre’. I wonder if they are somehow related to the care company?
All of the data is from public sources; it is a combination of 1) Companies House data (using its API) 2) the public register of visa sponsors and 3) publicly available FOIs on the number of certificates assigned. The website whatdotheyknow is a great resource for FOIs.
@UKDecline’s website is the most comprehensive I know on visa sponsors.
* SOC codes used include 6145 care workers and 6146 senior care workers. Company status used includes dissolved, liquidation voluntary arrangement. A Certificate of Sponsorship does not imply a visa has been issued. All data from publicly available FOIs.
Stoke-on-Trent care company ‘Aston Home Care’ assigned 274 Certificates of Sponsorship in 2023.
The only company with that name on companies house is in liquidation. It is still on the visa sponsor register.
