Launched at a Conference in Barnsley’s Metrodome on 6th December 2024, UNISON’s launch of a Migrant Care Workers Charter has been supported by Barnsley Borough City of Sanctuary.

UNISON Yorkshire and Humberside migrant worker lead Jordan Stapleton said: “For too long, migrant workers have been treated appallingly after coming to the UK to care for some of society’s most vulnerable people.This charter is a significant step towards stopping the awful conditions they experience. UNISON will be working with councils across Yorkshire and Humberside to crack down on this exploitative behaviour, and ensure these workers are treated with the respect they deserve.”

Barnsley Migrant Care Workers Choir entertained us all at the lunch break of the Conference.
