- Location:Zoom

- Time:2.5 hours
Responding to audit findings requires more than producing an action plan. Institutions must be able to demonstrate that improvements are meaningful, embedded, and sustainable.
This new addition to our training programme will explore how sponsors can respond effectively to findings, engage senior stakeholders, prioritise actions and evidence progress to UKVI. Delegates will consider common causes of audit findings, practical approaches to action planning, and the governance arrangements needed to support long-term compliance. While this session can be attended as a standalone event, it is designed to complement our previous session, "Preparing for a UKVI audit".
This course will help you to:
- Explore the range of potential audit outcomes and their implications
- Develop an effective response to audit findings
- Consider how to create and manage a meaningful compliance action plan
- Identify evidence that demonstrates improvement to UKVI
- Explain how sustainable compliance can be embedded across an institution
Our training is grounded in the principles of the #WeAreInternational Student Charter, a student-led document that provides guidance on delivering a world-class international student experience, from pre-arrival to post-graduation. This course will provide you with the tools, skills, and knowledge to support the implementation of all the principles in the charter.
Who should attend?
This event is for staff working primarily in compliance who have a good working knowledge of the Student route and the sponsor duties attached to it.
Suitable for: compliance staff, student records staff, staff responsible for Student sponsor licenses
Minimum experience level: good working knowledge of the sponsor duties under the Student route
