🚨 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 In Q1 2026, there were 1,545 Skilled Worker sponsor licence revocations - the highest quarterly figure recorded in recent years, following another record-breaking quarter at the end of 2025. For care providers relying on overseas recruitment, this is a critical shift in enforcement intensity. When a sponsor licence is revoked, the impact is immediate: • Sponsored workers are typically given only 60 days to find a new sponsor or leave the UK. • Services face sudden staffing instability. • Recruitment pipelines can collapse overnight. In many cases, organisations only discover issues after a UKVI audit has already taken place. Common compliance failures include: • Missing or inconsistent right-to-work records • Incorrect salary reporting • Weak document retention systems • Outdated or inaccurate SMS reporting In the current enforcement climate, a mock audit is no longer optional: it is a protective measure. It can be the difference between smooth compliance management and sponsor licence revocation. To help care providers prepare for this reality, Aston Brook Solicitors will be hosting a free webinar on UKVI Mock Audits: 📅 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🕑 𝟐:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 – 𝟑:𝟑𝟎𝐩𝐦 🎙 Hosted by Kashif Majeed, Director at Aston Brook Solicitors (27 years’ immigration law experience) We will cover: ✔ The five key areas UKVI inspectors assess ✔ Right to work checks, ECS checks & common pitfalls ✔ Documents required before a UKVI visit ✔ How announced and unannounced inspections are handled ✔ What happens after an inspection (ratings, action plans, suspension risks) ✔ Our two-stage mock audit process (HR file audit + live interview) If you would like further details or have questions about your organisation’s sponsor licence compliance, please get in touch: 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭@𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞.𝐜𝐨.𝐮𝐤 𝟎𝟐𝟎 𝟑𝟒𝟕𝟓 𝟒𝟑𝟐𝟏

Safeguarding Children from Risks Outside the Home The landscape for our young people is constantly evolving.

Co-production in Digital Care: Putting People in Control This webinar will explore how organisations across adult social care are using co-production to shape digital services, data use and innovation alongside the people most affected by them. The discussion will focus on a critical question: Who gets to influence how digital data is collected, used and acted on in adult social care? Too often, digital transformation happens to people rather than with them. This session will examine what happens when people with lived experience are genuinely involved in decision-making, service design and digital innovation from the beginning, not simply asked for feedback once decisions have already been made. The webinar will highlight examples where co-production has worked well because:

• people had real influence and shared ownership
• services listened and adapted
• digital approaches reflected people’s actual lives and needs
• organisations built trust through transparency and collaboration
