| A SOCIAL WORKER FROM CANADA. I THINK. |
Councils are being prevented from hiring vitally needed social workers from outside the European Union after the introduction of a temporary immigration cap.
UK Border Agency documents reveal it is turning down applications from local authorities to employ qualified social workers from outside the EU. An interim limit of 24,100 non-EU skilled workers entering the country before April next year was imposed in July, ahead of a permanent immigration cap.
Quite right too. You are not trying to tell me that there are not, eminently qualified unemployed people in this country, that could be trained as social workers very quickly. There are millions on the dole, including many graduates in social science and the country has more than enough immigrants as it is. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
