Mid-year report (January – July 2024)
This mid-year report of WSC’s casework supporting seasonal agricultural workers between January and July 2024 includes data from 411 individuals, spanning 212 cases and 199 enquiries. We have highlighted four key safeguarding risks posed to workers on the UK Seasonal Worker visa in agriculture: dismissals and pay related pressure; poor housing; health and safety hazards; and inaccessible transfers away from poor employment. Drawing on data from our cases we have set out the specific issues faced by workers, the actions WSC has taken to tackle them and our recommendations to government for policy change.

Annual Report 2023
In a short space of time, the WSC has built strong systems and a strategy and delivery plan which are rooted in the experience and expertise of workers themselves and the WSC team. Our work commenced in May 2023 in seasonal horticulture, and since then we have built a service that is trusted by workers. We conduct intensive outreach and casework, raising strong awareness of our service through diverse means, ensuring even very isolated migrant workers hear of the WSC, know how to make contact and are aware of the support we offer.
