To see this develop from an idea we had whilst doing our first investigation to it being brought over the line is a proud moment for me. @Mellino and I knew this tool would be invaluable for the overseas care workers we were interviewing & beyond, and here it finally is! 👏🏾 🙏🏾

🧰🧰NEW TOOL from us: Care Visa Sponsor Database

With it, you can do a postcode search for the nearest social care employer who is licensed to sponsor workers’ visas. It was built in collab with @TBIJ.

Here is why it is an important resource: 🧵

Heartbroken that Refinery29 UK and Unbothered UK are no more 😭😭 - my first 'big girl' byline was with them and L'Oréal Blackett was such a wonderful, supportive editor to a very anxious black girl. The whole team is amazing.

@RoyalMail Is it typical for your waiting time on the phone to extend past an hour? This is the second time I've tried to speak with someone this week and the waiting time is unacceptable.

[Vicky Gayle @vi_gayle]

These words are overdue as we didn't hear about Rianna's passing at the time, but meeting her, and witnessing the love between her & her family will stay w/me for my entire career. I'm so glad we were introduced and on behalf of myself & @rachelhamada, we're sorry for your loss x

[Matilda Davies @matildakdavies]

There's been lots of talk recently about getting disabled/long-term sick people back into the workforce, but very little about the 60,000 disabled people waiting for support to do just that

Here's what's going on with the Access to Work scheme 🧵👇

@EPAIreland Hi, I'm trying to reach someone in your media team via [email protected] but nobody is responding & the numbers on your website aren't recognised. Could someone DM me with a direct contact for a press officer please? Thanks so much!

A 2yo girl Mazeedat Adeoye who drowned in a refuse bin with water inside was failed “grossly failed largely by social workers” at Newham council a coroner has concluded. A tragic story beyond words. This mum needed help but was denied it. https://t.co/V206sow7lc

[Morgan Ofori @morgankofori]

Bit of a weird day to be tweeting about the first installment of my new series on @MundialMag’s new site, happy to be on board. Grassroots dispatches is my way of reporting about the game we all love with the people that make it happen. Hope you enjoy!

My latest for @onlinehyphen. Thousands of older and less tech-literate people could end up stranded abroad if they leave the UK after 31 December 2024 because of the transition to a new digital visa system, campaigners and an MP have warned. 🧵https://t.co/WcE7fhnGMM

🚨 New research report launch

Drawing on interview and survey data with nearly 100 migrant carers, and data analysis of companies licenced by the Home Office, we find that:
💥breaches of employment rights are pervasive;
💥and sponsor non-compliance is endemic.

Join us at 3pm on Thursday 14 November via Eventbrite, with the event taking place on Zoom
