Robust policy frameworks are the foundation of sustainable sponsor compliance. We work closely with higher education institutions to develop or update policies that fully align with the latest UKVI requirements, ensuring responsibilities are clearly defined and operationally feasible.
Our support includes mapping end-to-end workflows across both student and worker routes - covering all key processes from CAS issuance, record keeping, and enrolment to attendance monitoring and reporting. By creating tailored Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), we help embed consistent practices across departments, reducing the risk of errors or omissions. We also provide customised training for individual institutions and departments, clarifying responsibilities and fostering stronger collaboration across teams towards a shared compliance goal of keeping the license protected whilst meeting institutional recruitment targets.
In addition, we review institutional recruitment strategies, target markets, and processes - including recruitment through agents, pre- and post-CAS issuance, attendance monitoring, and reporting mechanisms,to ensure they meet UKVI expectations and audit standards. Recognising the constraints many institutions face, we provide practical advice on optimising existing systems (such as student record, reporting, academic engagement, and HR platforms) to strengthen compliance without the need for costly new technologies. Our support also includes improving attendance and engagement monitoring processes and designing targeted policies to prevent breaches of international student working-hour restrictions.
The outcome is a more integrated, resilient approach to compliance that aligns with UKVI standards while working within the realities of your institution’s structure and resources
