The essential compliance aspects of sponsoring students

Immigration law webinar for independent schools

One of the guiding principles of the sponsorship regime is that sponsoring students is a privilege and not a right. To maintain the privilege of holding a sponsor licence (and to benefit from the migration it enables) the Home Office require student/child student sponsors to fulfil certain sponsorship duties.

Failure to comply with these duties can have a detrimental impact on an organisation and its sponsor licence. For example, the consequences of not obtaining the required ISI rating or breaching record-keeping or reporting duties could lead to a school’s Confirmation of Acceptation for Studies (CAS) allocation being set to zero.

It is therefore essential that student sponsor licence holders are aware of their ongoing duties as a sponsor and know how to manage any associated risks.

In this webinar, Julianna Barker will be discussing the compliance requirements for independent schools that are student/child student sponsors, including the educational oversight requirement, right to study checks, the risks associated with failing to comply and what can be done to manage those risks.
