BBC Radio 4 - Face the Facts, Care workers

The foreign workers abused and exploited by agencies placing them in UK care homes.

John Waite investigates the foreign migrants working in the UK care sector who are abused and exploited by the agencies and gangmasters that hire them.

Tens of thousands of foreign migrants work in the UK care sector. But many are exploited by the agencies and gangmasters who hire them. John Waite hears from some of these workers, and from the regulator who wants the power to regulate the care home industry - where not only the residents are vulnerable to abuse.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
