The Home Office’s New Approach to Compliance Checks

Every care provider is suspected of underpaying workers compared to the salaries stated on their CoS.

Live Webinar – Wednesday, 19 November 2025 @ 1:00 PM

(60 minutes + Q&A)

Let’s be honest — something’s changed

If you’ve held a sponsor licence for a while, you can feel it.
The Home Office isn’t just checking documents anymore.
They’re testing how you operate.

The tone of their emails has shifted. The questions are sharper.

And even good sponsors — the ones who’ve been careful for years — are being asked to produce more proof than ever before.

We’ve seen this first-hand. Since the summer, we’ve helped multiple providers respond to new-style Home Office requests that ask for everything: contracts, payslips, and even six months of bank statements.

This isn’t a random audit cycle. It’s a new strategy. And in this webinar, we’re going to unpack exactly what’s behind it.

Top 3 Unavoidable Mistakes That Get Sponsor Licences Revoked

Learn the critical errors every sponsor must avoid — and how to protect your licence before it’s too late.

  

Case Study: How 3 Care Providers Lost Millions in Revenue

Discover real-life examples of revoked sponsor licences — and the costly compliance failures behind them.

  

5 Revocation Reasons That Can Be Overturned

Find out which Home Office revocation decisions can be challenged — and what evidence turns the case in your favour.

  

Why Fixing Everything Is the Only Way to Guarantee Compliance

Understand why partial compliance isn’t enough — and how full compliance protects your business, your workers, and your growth.

The CoS requests turned out to be the trigger for the licence revocation

A recent client story says it all.

  • 06 June 2025: Undefined CoS request submitted (5 roles).
  • 25 July 2025: Rejected.
  • 21 August 2025: Unannounced Compliance Visit.
  • 23 September 2025: Sponsor Licence Revoked.

Rejections aren’t random; they’re often a signal of thin evidence or inconsistent records. Once you’re flagged, every compliance area opens up. One mismatch can imply wider failures, and turn a simple request into a full Home Office investigation.

This session shows you how to spot those signals early, repair the weak links, and keep everyday actions (CoS, onboarding, HR changes) from triggering an audit.

The two patterns behind most licence revocations

Two short videos show the mismatches compliance officers look for first.

The John Smith Test

Why Appendix D gaps and CoS/payslip mismatches turn into instant breaches, and the simple monthly check that catches them early.

When the CoS role doesn’t match the CV/contract, it’s a C1.38 breach. This clip shows the exact mismatch that leads to revocations.

Collins’ journey from revocation to reinstatement

Collins attended this webinar over a year ago. He had been to many webinars before, but none were as insightful and invaluable as this one.

​However, Collins made a mistake. Feeling too confident that he was already compliant, he did not put into action everything he had learned. Then, without even a compliance visit, his sponsor licence was revoked.

The immediate Impact:

  • 15 months to recover
  • £150,000 in legal and related costs
  • 58 sponsored workers lost
  • 2,320 weekly care hours gone
  • £3,445,200 in lost revenue

Thankfully, Ian helped him through the process. Fifteen months later, his licence was reinstated, and Collins and his organisation are now finally on the road to recovery.

Collins shares his story so that others do not make the same mistake.

His three key lessons are:

Attend this webinar — it contains the most insightful and practical information available.

Act on what you learn — never assume compliance.

Get expert help — because you don’t know what you don’t know.

That’s why he urges you to give this webinar your utmost priority and to make sure your whole team joins

Staying at A-rating

Collins built structure into every process and kept his A-rating.

Collins turned a costly revocation into a recovery story. With the right systems, his licence was reinstated and today his business is growing again. The roadmap we used is the same one we will share with you. Join us and build your own version of that success without the painful chapter. This webinar is where that starts.
