Preparing for Sponsor Compliance Visits - Don’t Get Caught Out!

Introduction

Since the resumption of sponsor compliance visits following the pandemic, the Home Office has conducted these inspections with enhanced vigour and scrutiny.

Sponsors found to be non-compliant with their duties risk the downgrading, suspension or even revocation of their licence. Worse still, sponsors engaging in illegal working, whether intentionally or otherwise, may be liable for penalties of up to £20,000 per illegal worker.

This webinar is vital for immigration practitioners who advise organisations with sponsor licences to ensure that they are aware of and adhere to the many sponsorship duties if the Home Office want to undertake a compliance assessment or visit during the course of their licence.

It will provide invaluable guidance on how to prepare for a compliance visit and protect yourself against harsh sanctions.

This webinar is also essential for any organisations looking to obtain a sponsor licence, given the pre-licence assessments being carried out by the Home Office.
