The Tier 1 General allows you to bring your dependants to the United Kingdom if you have been successfully granted leave to enter/remain. The dependants must meet the requirements in the immigration rules at paragraph 319A-K of part 8, which outlines that are you are allowed to bring children under 18 years of age, or your husband, wife, civil partner, or unmarried or same-sex partner with you to the United Kingdom, as long as the Home Office give them entry clearance or permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain'). For each dependant, there is a requirement of a separate application form to be completed. 

Conditions of stay for partners - If the application succeeds, the partner will be given entry clearance, or permission to stay, subject to the following conditions:

1.        he/she must have no recourse to public funds, which means he/she will be unable to claim most benefits paid by the state;

2.        he/she must register with the police, if paragraph 326 of the immigration rules requires him/her to do so;

3.        as the spouse, civil partner, unmarried, or same-sex partner of a migrant given permission to stay under parts 3, 5 or 6 of the immigration rules; or

4.        as the partner of a highly skilled worker (provided that permission was not subject to a condition prohibiting employment as a doctor in training).

Children of a Tier 1 General migrant must meet the conditions set out in the immigration rules at paragraph 319H of part 8. The above conditions also apply. Your dependants would be allowed to work in the United Kingdom.

Dependants may not switch into any category of the points-based system in their own right. If your dependants later want to be in the United Kingdom under the points-based system in their own right, they will have to leave the United Kingdom and apply for entry clearance (permission to enter the United Kingdom).
