others - as a way to reduce stress and strengthen relationships. We’ll practise simple techniques such as self-compassion breaks, gratitude exercises, and reframing
unhelpful thoughts. By the end of the session, you’ll feel more confident in using compassion as a practical skill for everyday wellbeing.

Hosted by Aston Brook Solicitors – Specialists in Corporate Immigration & Sponsorship Compliance
📅
Wednesday 17th June 2025🕑
2:00pm – 3:30pm
With the Home Office intensifying post-licence visits across the care sector, including a notable rise in unannounced inspections, now is the time to ensure your organisation is fully prepared.
Join Kashif Majeed, Director at Aston Brook Solicitors and immigration law specialist with nearly 27 years of experience, for a practical and informative session covering everything you need to know about UKVI compliance audits.

- Right to work checks, ECS checks, and how to avoid the most common pitfalls
- What documents to prepare
- How to handle announced and unannounced visits
- What happens after an inspection, ratings, action plans, and licence suspension
- Our two-stage mock audit service: HR file audit + live mock interview
Who should attend? This webinar is essential for Authorising Officers, HR managers, administrators, and compliance leads at care providers holding or applying for a sponsor licence.

🚨 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• Outdated or inaccurate SMS reporting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:

Safeguarding Children from Risks Outside the Home
The landscape for our young people is constantly evolving. It is recognised that risks are no longer confined to the home environment, and that young people may have other places where they feel connected, but could equally be at risk of harm. Portrayals and experiences of exploitation are better understood today than they were 15 years ago; however, challenges continue in other forms of contextual or extra‑familial harm. This session aims to further share the guidance, support, and interventions available across West Yorkshire, as well as some of our experiences in Calderdale that have led to positive outcomes for young people and their families.

Cyber Safety Basics for Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Online

This session is designed to equip professionals, carers, and families with the foundational knowledge needed to identify and respond to digital risks early—before they escalate into safeguarding emergencies. By recognising the signs of technology-facilitated harm, practitioners can take proactive steps to reduce opportunities for abusers to target children and adults at risk, and create safer online environments for those they support.

Salary Compliance & the April 2026 Rule Changes - Aston Brooke Solicitors Webinar
Are Your Sponsored Workers Being Paid Correctly?
Hosted by Aston Brooke Solicitors – Specialists in Corporate Immigration & Sponsorship Compliance
📅 Thursday 2nd of July 2026
🕑 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
With sponsor licence revocations on the rise, a significant number are now being linked directly to breaches of salary compliance requirements under UK immigration rules.
As the Home Office continues to apply greater scrutiny, particularly in the care sector, ensuring full compliance with salary thresholds and reporting obligations has never been more important.
The webinar will also explore salary compliance in the context of recent and ongoing immigration rule changes affecting sponsorship requirements and pay obligations.
Join Kashif, Director at Aston Brooke Solicitors and immigration law specialist with nearly 28 years of experience, for a practical and informative session examining the latest changes and what they mean for care providers and other sponsor licence holders.
In this webinar, we will cover:
- The key salary-related changes introduced in April 2026
- Understanding salary thresholds and pay requirements
- Common salary compliance mistakes that can lead to sponsor licence revocation
- Record-keeping and reporting duties relating to salary compliance
- Practical steps employers can take to reduce risk and protect their sponsor licence
Who should attend?
This webinar is essential for Authorising Officers, HR managers, payroll teams, administrators, finance managers, and compliance leads at organisations holding or applying for a sponsor licence. It is particularly relevant for care providers navigating the latest immigration changes and seeking to avoid costly compliance issues.
Why attend?
Salary compliance is now one of the Home Office's key enforcement priorities. Failure to comply with sponsorship salary requirements can result in licence suspension, revocation, and disruption to your workforce. This webinar will provide practical guidance to help your organisation understand the new rules and remain compliant.

In the third of our neighbourhood health series we are delving into the complexities of delegated health care tasks.
We are delighted to welcome two of our fabulous members, who are both fellows of the IHSCM, Hayley Robertshaw, CEO of St Martin’s Care and Trudie Fell, Founder of BelleVie Home Care who will be leading this session.
What to Expect
During this session we will highlight how social care providers support the whole system when completing delegated health care tasks. The outcomes of delegating these tasks are hugely beneficial to both receivers of this type of often complex support, and the wider system. However, delegated health care tasks come with significant challenges in terms of cost, particularly around who pays.

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

Changes to the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards regime.
Wednesday 15 July at 2pm | Zoom webinar
Please join RWK Goodman's Health & Social Care team and Fulcrum Care Consulting for their upcoming webinar on Wednesday 15 July at 2pm.

• How the definition of “Deprivation of Liberty” has changed and what that means in practice.
• The intersection between a DoLS analysis and the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
• How the changes in legal interpretation impact the need to make DoLS applications to local authorities.
Join us as we talk through different practical scenarios and take your questions from the floor.
