Child Student Sponsor Compliance
Practical compliance. Confident teams. Stronger sponsor systems.
Specialist training and compliance support for independent schools holding a Student sponsor licence.
From CAS assignment and right-to-study checks to record keeping, attendance monitoring, reporting duties, accommodation and guardianship arrangements, we help school teams understand not only what the rules say, but what good compliance looks like in practice.
Whether you need focused staff training, an independent review of your current systems, or ongoing compliance support, our approach is practical, school-specific and designed around the realities of managing international pupils.
Specialist Support for Student & Child Student Sponsors
Practitioner-Led
Training and support delivered by immigration professionals who understand sponsor compliance in practice.
School-Specific
Focused on the operational realities of independent schools — not generic immigration training.
Current & Practical
Built around current Student and Child Student sponsor requirements and translated into processes your team can actually use.
No Tie-Ins
Use us for a single masterclass, an independent compliance review or ongoing support. You choose what your school needs.
Your Sponsor Licence Depends on More Than Good Intentions
Child Student sponsor compliance touches multiple parts of a school.
- Admissions may obtain the documents.
- The international team may manage the CAS.
- House staff may notice an absence.
- Academic staff may identify a change in engagement.
- HR or senior leadership may ultimately carry responsibility for the school’s systems.
The challenge is making sure everyone understands their part — and that the school’s processes work together.
We help schools turn sponsor guidance into clear, consistent day-to-day practice.

The Child Student Sponsor Compliance Masterclass
This is not generic immigration training.
Our live Child Student Sponsor Compliance Masterclass is designed specifically for the staff responsible for international pupils and sponsor compliance within independent schools.
We focus on the areas that matter operationally, including:
- Sponsor duties and key responsibilities
- Right-to-study and immigration status checks
- Attendance and engagement monitoring
- Accommodation, care and guardianship considerations
- Common compliance weaknesses and how to address them
- Practical scenarios based on situations schools may encounter
- CAS assignment and pre-CAS checks
- Record keeping and document retention
- Sponsor reporting duties and relevant changes in circumstances
- Roles and responsibilities across different school teams
- Preparing staff and systems for Home Office scrutiny
- Live questions and answers
Your School. Your Team. Your Questions.
The session can be tailored to your school’s structure, existing processes and the areas where your team wants greater confidence.
Already Have an Immigration Adviser? Good. We Don’t Need to Replace Them.
Many schools already have access to immigration lawyers or external advisers. Our compliance training can sit alongside that relationship. Legal advice can tell you what the rules require. Your staff still need to know how those requirements translate into the everyday operation of your school.
NO RETAINER REQUIRED. NO TIE-IN. NO PRESSURE TO SWITCH ADVISERS.
More Than a Masterclass
Different schools need different levels of support.
Compliance Masterclass
Focused live training for the staff responsible for Student and Child Student sponsor compliance. Ideal for refreshing knowledge, onboarding staff or strengthening understanding across departments.
Sponsor Compliance Health Check
An independent review of key sponsor processes and records to identify potential gaps, inconsistencies and areas for improvement. Ideal for schools that want reassurance about how systems operate in practice.
Probationary Sponsor Support
Practical support for newer sponsors establishing compliant systems, responsibilities and processes from the outset.
Ongoing Compliance Support
Regular training and compliance support for schools that want access to specialist assistance throughout the academic year. Support can be tailored to the needs and structure of your school.
Who Should Attend?
Sponsor compliance is rarely the responsibility of just one person. Bringing relevant colleagues together helps create one consistent understanding of the school’s responsibilities.
- Registrars
- International pupil teams
- Compliance staff
- HR teams
- Admissions teams
- Sponsor licence key personnel
- Boarding and pastoral teams
- Senior leadership
