Is Your NHS Trust Sponsor Compliant?

Overview

Managing a sponsored workforce comes with responsibilities that extend well beyond issuing a Certificate of Sponsorship. For NHS Trusts, keeping immigration compliance embedded in everyday HR and recruitment processes is essential to supporting international staff and protecting continuity of care.

Join Immigration Advice Service (IAS) for a practical webinar exploring common compliance risks, sponsor reporting obligations, record-keeping and preparing for Home Office inspections. We’ll highlight areas to review and practical steps to help your Trust identify gaps and strengthen its approach.
