Immigration Essentials for Independent Schools - London

A working knowledge of immigration law and practice has never been so important to independent schools as today...

An estimated 750 independent schools are registered with UK Visas and Immigration under Tier 4 and independent schools sponsor around 15,000 overseas pupils each year.

The Government continues to target net migration and overseas students, bringing pressure to bear on schools, pupils and staff – particularly those within schools who have a front line role in dealing with UKVI.

Areas Covered

We will provide comprehensive coverage of all topics relevant to independent schools, including:

• Tier 4 Status and Basic Compliance Assessments
• Migration checks on pupils and other sponsor compliance responsibilities
• Biometric Residence Permits and alternative collection arrangements
• Reporting to UKVI
• What to do when things go wrong

With continued uncertainty over the shape of any Brexit arrangements following 29th March 2019, this seminar will also look at the government’s latest pronouncements on immigration following Brexit and consider the likely scenarios and implications for existing and future EU pupils (and their parents) at your school.

Who should attend?

Course materials will be aimed at key personnel – Authorising Officers, Key Contacts, Level 1 and 2 users of the sponsor management system.
