Immigration webinar: Preparing for changes to UK Right to Work checks

Significant changes to the UK’s right to work regime are on the horizon – and they could affect far more than your traditional employee workforce. Proposals are set to extend right to work checks beyond employees to include contractors, sub-contractors, gig-economy workers, zero-hours contract workers, and other non-traditional arrangements, whether engaged directly or indirectly. For many organisations, this represents a fundamental shift in compliance responsibilities.

Join Angela Barnes and Roxanne Buckley from our Business Immigration team for a practical, insight‑led lunchtime webinar designed to help employers understand what’s changing, assess the impact on their organisation, and start preparing now.

What we’ll cover:

• The essentials of conducting compliant right to work checks
• The proposed expansion of who checks must be carried out on – and why it matters
• Key compliance risks, including civil penalties and reputational damage
• How to manage right to work checks lawfully and avoid discrimination risks
• Practical steps employers can take now to get ahead of the changes

Who should attend?

This webinar is ideal for HR professionals, people managers, in‑house legal teams, compliance officers, and business leaders with responsibility for workforce planning or immigration compliance.
