Our January 2025 report, Creating a Sustainable Adult Social Care Workforce: International Recruitment 24/25 in West Midlands Interim Learning & Evaluation provides the learning and evaluation gained in using the DHSC International Recruitment 2024-25 Fund to further develop a West Midlands International Recruitment model. This development is focused on supporting displaced international care workers into new employment with another care provider sponsor.
The purpose of this interim report is to describe the development of the regional international recruitment model, highlight the learning to date and provide an opportunity to shape the final evaluation of the programme.
Over the next six months, the impact of the interventions included within the model will be evaluated, with consideration given to a sustainable approach to preventing and addressing exploitative employment practices, while also supporting workforce initiatives to sustain the adult social care sector. A final evaluation report will be completed in autumn 2025.
