Prison officers in the UK do an exceptional job. They protect the public from those who have been convicted by the courts of various offences while keeping our communities safe. They support rehabilitation of offenders, among many other things they do on a daily basis just to keep the prison service and the justice system effective and running. They work in extremely difficult and demanding environments, and sometimes they are assaulted while carrying out their lawful duties, yet, they continue to act professionally regardless of these challenges. Working in this sector is demanding, challenging but rewarding. In my humble opinion, It is only fair, @ShabanaMahmood , to exempt those already on the five-year route to ILR, as has been done for health carers, just as a way to appreciate the good job done. Notably, @ShabanaMahmood served as Secretary of State for Justice from 2024 to 2025 and should therefore understand the exceptional work prison officers do.

My question is what about individuals employed in various sectors who are currently on the 5-year route to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), including prison officers, police officers, researchers, lecturers, and those in tech etc. What happens to them? These individuals contribute to Tax and National Insurance, thereby sustaining the economy and improving productivity. For example, Prison officers and Police officers go above and beyond to ensure community safety and public protection as part of their roles, sometimes they even get assaulted while discharging their legitimate duty. Excluding them from the 5-year pathway and extending it to 10 years is not only unjust but also malicious. What is applicable to one group should be applicable to all, it is only equitable to implement this for the sake of fairness, transparency, and justice.

Dear Home Secretary @ShabanaMahmood

I hope this finds you well.

MAINTAIN THE 5 YEAR INDIFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN FOR INDIVDUALS ALREADY ON THE PATHWAY, REGARDLESS OF PROFESSION.

Respectfully,

I am writing you regarding your recent announcement to the changes of Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). While I appreciate the exemption for carers and some selected professions who arrived during the post-COVID era (Borris-wave), which is a positive step in the best direction. It also worthy to extend this consideration to other professions under the same skilled work visa who arrived during the same timeframe. What about individuals in civil service roles, such as prison officers, police officers, and professionals in fields like research, academia, and technology, among others not mentioned here? What happens to them? I ask you respectfully? It is only normal and just to exempt those already on the pathway to ensure fairness, transparency, and justice the United Kingdom has always been known for. In my considered view, this is the right course of action.

Every profession holds its own significance and uniqueness, complementing one another, supporting and running government services, and aiding the economy through Taxes and National Insurance for growth and productivity. For instance, Prison and Police officers go above and beyond to ensure their respective community's safety and protection. These officers sometimes face significant assaults while performing their legitimate duties. Extending the qualifying years from 5 to 10 years for those already on this pathway will not only weaken morale and productivity, but it will also encourage exploitation from sponsors in so many ways. While I agree with the need for strict and controlled immigration, it is only fair to allow those already on this route to continue on the established five year path. Everyone deserves equal treatment, regardless of their career path or chosen profession. I strongly oppose your proposed changes to the retrospective rule for ILR, extending it from five to ten years. This is detrimental, breaking trust and public confidence. It is essential to maintain the ILR for those who have already been on the five year path rather than the moving the goal post. It is unethical, damaging, betrayal and does not conform with best global standards.

With thanks

Jerry

@JordanCoombsPOA We have some great ones too Jordan, the exception is needed urgently or we will end up as a service shorter of staff than we already are.

[Jordan Coombs @JordanCoombsPOA]

At Hull, foreign national prison officers are doing an amazing job and have become active members of both the POA and HMP Hull family. They deserve exemptions to be put in place to allow them to continue to do a job many in British society will not do.

The General Secretary TUC @nowak_paul is absolutely correct. Foreign National Prison Officers and their families are being let down by the latest announcement by the Home Secretary @ShabanaMahmood and the silence from HMPPS has been awful. That is why I have written to the Home Secretary seeking an urgent meeting with a view to rectifying this situation. Steve Gillan Gen Sec

Ministers have listened and introduced a big exception for care workers on "Earned Settlement".

But what’s unfair and un-British for one set of workers is unfair for others too.

People just days away from applying for settlement are now in limbo.

Those who come here and work in our care sector do our country a great service. 🇬🇧

The next step is introducing an umbrella sponsorship scheme to combat the exploitation and poor working conditions so many experience.
