West Northamptonshire Council are looking to co-produce an Ethical Charter in relation to international recruits. The aim of the Charter is to set out the key guiding principles for the recruitment, onboarding and ongoing support for those working in Adult Social Care via a Certificate of Sponsorship.

The Local Authority will be arranging a series of working groups in the near future and would like a small number of voluntary organisations to be part of this process and to help them to co-produce the Charter. As Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire currently assists West Northamptonshire with its ASC Register, VIN will be taking part in these workshops (but does not wish to be the lone VCSE voice in this).

If you currently support International Recruits, feel you have really good International Recruitment practices, or have a keen interest in this area and would like to be involved in the co-production of the Charter please contact WNCCommissioning@westnorthants.gov.uk by Friday 21^st March 2025.
