Shabana has caved in to pressure, watering down her already weak immigration plans. Since Labour have no interest in reforming the ECHR, saying they'll "only take Afghan women" is nonsense. The right to family life means they can bring all the men in their family over. A Palestinian woman recently brought her extended family of 17 to the UK.
Our immigration system is broken and until Labour are prepared to support Conservative policy to leave the ECHR and put something sensible in place, any restrictions are just smoke and mirrors.
@hornej13 I think it is really unfair that people with degree from other countries get registered while lots of very brilliant students from the uk struggle to get registered or move on the career, for example it took me 12year to finally register.
@hornej13 I think the universities should be responsible for training, they should be linked to an nhs that can give the student at least 6 months feel of what the job entails, then pass the student based on the standard in the portfolio. So when they come out of university, they are ready
@hornej13 Then stay back because I was made permanent in the lab. I only just got my hcpc registration after 12 years. This was done on voluntary bases from one of labs I worked for years ago. The lab I work for does not train.
@hornej13 I graduated 2007, and could not get any training positions, so went locuming as an MLA for 3years, with no hcpc registration coming forth, I got frustrated and left to lecture in the university I graduated. After lecturing for 5yrs, I went to cover a locum MLA post for 2weeks.
@KaylaMidwinter London metropolitan university runs a student ambassador program called aim higher. They go into school to speak to students mostly girls. You can contact them.
