An independent report has called for a review of Defra’s Seasonal Workers Pilot (SWP) after concerns were raised about the safety and wellbeing of migrant workers.
The study assessed the risks of human trafficking for forced labour on the SWP and it urges the UK and Scottish governments to take action to review the scheme, which was set up in 2019 to avoid labour shortages after Brexit.
The research by the charity Focus on Labour Exploitation (Flex) is based on data collected from workers on Scottish farms. It identifies issues around zero-hour contracts, unsafe housing, debt burden on migrant workers and barriers to changing employer.
