The reforms taking effect on 22 July 2025 will reshape the UK’s approach to economic migration. Employers that currently rely on sponsored workers must act quickly to review their workforce strategy and ensure compliance with the new rules.

Key steps include:
<ul>
 	<li>Audit your sponsored roles and determine which will no longer be eligible from 22 July</li>
 	<li>Issue CoS for qualifying individuals before the deadline</li>
 	<li>Apply for increased CoS allocations now if necessary</li>
 	<li>Review salaries for both new and existing staff to ensure they meet updated thresholds</li>
 	<li>Adjust recruitment and workforce planning to account for restrictions on dependants</li>
 	<li>For care providers, confirm CQC registration and eligibility under recognised frameworks</li>
</ul>
