The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is exploring views on and usage of the Seasonal Worker visa, and how well the route meets the needs of employers, employees and other stakeholders. We are interested in views on anything to do with the Seasonal Worker visa route, for example the economic impact of the scheme, how well the scheme works for employers, how well it protects the welfare of migrants, how the scheme is organised and anything that could be improved about the scheme. One of the ways we will look at this is through this Call for Evidence (CfE). There are three different questionnaires aimed at: Employers of migrant workers, Representative bodies and other organisations (for example research organisations, academics, and associated businesses such as supermarkets); and Individuals (for example current/previous employees).
You can respond on-line using this link MAC Seasonal Workers Call for Evidence: Personal Capacity (homeofficesurveys.homeoffice.gov.uk)
This questionnaire will remain open until Tuesday 19th September 2023. We really value your input and would find it helpful if you could respond as soon as possible so that we can start considering your views and information.
All identifying and personal information will remain confidential, however aggregated and anonymised information in the form of summary statistics will be published as part of our final report. We will ask your permission to quote from your response, but this will be on an opt-in basis.
