SPONSOR LICENCE
Sponsor Licence Downgrade
About Sponsor Licence Downgrade
When the Home Office finds compliance issues that are serious but not fatal, it may downgrade a sponsor licence from A-rated to B-rated. A downgrade restricts the ability to assign new certificates and usually comes with a Home Office action plan that must be completed correctly within a set period. Failure to comply can lead to revocation. RakLAW Solicitors help sponsors interpret the downgrade decision, deliver against the action plan, and present the evidence needed to recover full A-rated status.
Who this is for
- Sponsors downgraded after a compliance visit
- Businesses issued with a Home Office action plan
- Employers needing to keep recruiting under restrictions
- Groups wanting to restore A-rated status quickly
How RakLAW helps
- Explain the downgrade decision and risks
- Project-manage delivery of the action plan
- Tighten HR processes and SMS use
- Prepare evidence for re-rating to A-rated
- Defend the licence if further action is threatened
