Give Free Full-Time Childcare to Working Temporary Visa Families
We want the UK Government and local councils to support hardworking migrant families who legally live and work in the UK, pay taxes, and contribute to society but receive little or no support because of visa restrictions.
Families with children should have fair access to childcare support, temporary financial help, and basic living assistance during difficult times.
Why is this important?
Parents who cannot work because they care for their children should not be left struggling despite paying taxes and following the law.
We ask the government to review the “No Recourse to Public Funds” policy for working families and create fair support systems for temporary visa holders with children.
My wife works full-time and pays taxes in the UK. I also work as an Uber driver and pay taxes honestly. We are contributing to this country legally and trying our best to build a stable future for our child.
We have a young child who will turn 4 years old in July. Because we have no family in the UK, I often have to stay home to take care of our child, which makes it difficult for me to work full-time and support my family properly.
We are not asking for financial benefits or free money. We are only asking for fair childcare support for working families like ours. If our child could receive free full-time childcare, I would also be able to work properly, contribute more, and continue paying taxes.
Families who work hard, follow the law, and pay taxes should not be left without support simply because of their immigration status. We ask the UK Government and local councils to provide fair childcare access for temporary visa holders with children.
