A legal challenge has been launched against the UK government's policy of denying visas to the children of migrant care workers. The policy has been criticized for separating families and exacerbating staffing shortages in the care sector. 

The challenge, brought by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, argues that the policy violates human rights and undermines the government's own efforts to address the chronic shortage of care workers in the UK. The outcome of this legal battle could have significant implications for the care industry and the rights of migrant workers and their families in the country.
