The webinar explored the warning signs\, the difference between suspension an d revocation\, and how to organise a timely\, evidence-led response.\nSpon sor licence suspension and revocation can have immediate consequences for recruitment\, workforce planning\, reputation and continuity of care. Conc erns may emerge during a compliance visit\, through desktop checks or when UKVI compares information held on the Sponsorship Management System with payroll and other business records.\n\nKashif Majeed\, Director at Aston B rooke Solicitors and lead for Sponsorship &\; Home Office Compliance\, delivered a focused session on the practical steps care providers should t ake before and after Home Office enforcement action.
