Allow Displaced Care Workers to work temporarily without a new sponsorship
We want the Government to allow Displaced Care Workers to temporarily, legally work full-time with another care company while they keep searching for a new Sponsor. Additionally, grant automatic renewal of their visas if expired and restrict them to care sector work only to help with staff shortages
