This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you want to see changes to policy regarding people who overstay their visa conditions, but it's not clear exactly how you want this to work. Your petition says that Government should "Stop deportation of overstayers and retrain them to work in health and social care", but we couldn't accept a petition calling for overstayers to be forced to train and work in health and social care.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to create a scheme for people who have overstayed to apply to work in health and social care, instead of being removed from the country.
