Executive Summary

This executive summary provides an overview of key findings from a series of three
reports that investigated and assessed the risks stemming from the Government’s
design of the Seasonal Worker Scheme, and highlighted cases of good practice.

Those reports are:

1. Bearing fruit: Making recruitment fairer for migrant workers, which focuses on recruitment-related risks.
2. Bound to work: Improving access to redress on the UK’s Seasonal Worker Scheme, which covers difficulties in leaving exploitative conditions and how workers access vital support for work-related issues.
3. Not here for the weather: Ensuring safe and fair conditions on the UK’s Seasonal Worker Scheme, documents the broader working and living conditions of people on the route.
