Sponsor Licence Compliance Training

Holding a UK sponsor licence comes with significant responsibilities. Employers who sponsor migrant workers under the Skilled Worker or other routes must meet strict compliance duties set out by the Home Office. Failing to do so can result in licence suspension, revocation, or even fines — threatening both the business and the visa status of sponsored employees. At Stretton Solicitors, we offer comprehensive Sponsor Licence Compliance Training to help UK businesses meet their legal obligations confidently and avoid common compliance pitfalls.

Sponsorship compliance isn’t just about keeping paperwork in order — it’s about understanding your duties as an employer and actively managing your responsibilities. From right-to-work checks to record-keeping and reporting changes to employee circumstances, the requirements are detailed and ongoing. Even seemingly minor breaches can lead to serious consequences during a compliance visit or audit. Our training sessions are designed to give your HR teams and key personnel the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to maintain full compliance year-round.

Our Sponsor Licence Compliance Training covers all key areas that the Home Office considers essential. This includes understanding your sponsorship obligations, managing the Sponsor Management System (SMS), reporting relevant changes within specified timeframes, conducting appropriate right-to-work checks, and preparing for unannounced compliance visits. We use real-world examples and updated legal guidance to ensure that your team can apply best practices in a practical, business-friendly way.

The training is tailored to your organisation’s needs, whether you’re a small business with limited HR resources or a larger company managing multiple sponsored workers. We offer both in-person and remote training formats, and we can also provide follow-up sessions or compliance audits where needed. Our solicitors are experienced in handling complex sponsor licence issues and regularly work with employers across sectors including healthcare, tech, construction, and hospitality.

Beyond training, Stretton Solicitors offers ongoing legal support to help you maintain your sponsor licence in good standing. This includes assistance with licence renewals, mock audits, document checks, and representation in the event of enforcement action. By working with us, your business not only meets compliance standards — it stays ahead of them. We act as your legal partner in navigating the evolving sponsorship system with minimal disruption and maximum assurance.

Don’t wait for a Home Office audit to discover gaps in your compliance. Let Stretton Solicitors equip your team with the knowledge and support they need to manage sponsorship duties with confidence and accuracy.
