This practical webinar shows adult social care providers how compliance visits work\, what evidence may be tested and how a two-stage mock audit can expo se gaps before the Home Office does.\nA sponsor licence depends on more th an having policies in place. UKVI may test whether your HR systems work in practice\, whether records are complete and consistent\, and whether the people responsible for sponsorship can explain how duties are carried out across the organisation.\n\nWe joined Kashif Majeed\, Director at Aston Br ooke Solicitors and lead for Sponsorship &\; Home Office Compliance\, f or a practical session designed specifically for adult social care provide rs. Kashif explained how to prepare for an announced or unannounced Home O ffice compliance visit\, what a compliance officer was likely to examine a nd how a UKVI-style mock audit could help identify weaknesses before they put the licence at risk.\nIn this webinar\, we covered:\n\n\n The purpose and structure of a UKVI sponsor compliance visit.\n The five core HR com pliance areas: immigration status and right-to-work controls\; migrant con tact details\; record-keeping\; attendance and worker monitoring\; and rec ruitment practices and professional accreditation.\n The documents and ev idence UKVI might request\, including passports\, right-to-work evidence\, Certificates of Sponsorship\, job descriptions\, contracts\, application records\, rotas\, timesheets and payroll information.\n Why information h ad to reconcile across the Sponsorship Management System\, contracts\, pay roll\, rotas and HR files.\n How Authorising Officers\, Key Contacts\, Le vel 1 Users\, managers and frontline teams could prepare for interview que stions.\n Common care-sector weaknesses\, including unreported changes\, outdated records\, role drift\, unexplained absence and pay or hours that did not match the CoS.\n How a two-stage mock audit – an HR file review followed by a simulated UKVI interview - could turn findings into a pract ical action plan.\n\n \;\nWhy attend?\nA compliance visit could test b oth your records and your people. This webinar helped attendees understand what good evidence looked like\, where gaps commonly arose and how to pre pare in a structured way. Attendees left with a clearer view of the questi ons to ask internally and the controls to prioritise before UKVI made cont act.\n\n \;\n\n\n\n \;\n\nShould you wish to discuss any of the po ints raised or have further questions\, please contact:\n\n Kashif Majeed - Director\, Aston Brooke Solicitors: support@astonbrooke.co.uk\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.careengland.org.uk/wp-content/upload s/2026/07/AB-Webinar-1.png CATEGORIES:Care England,Care England Members,Non members END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260329T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
