29 June 2023 6:00pm–7:00pm

Online

Do you want to know your rights about your sponsored workers visa (including health and social care visa)? Then join us to hear from immigration and employment experts at UNISON Essex and UNISON Hertfordshire’s second know your rights session.

What's on?

You’ll have the opportunity to learn more about sponsored worker visas and ask general questions about your immigration and employment rights and any concerns. But please note, they will not be able to give any direct advice on your personal situation.
