Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what circumstances would trigger enforcement action against sponsors operating under the Religious Worker and Charity Worker routes.

All Religious and Charity Workers applications are considered on their individual merits against the Immigration Rules that are relevant to the routes. Should a concern be identified during the consideration of the application, then an assessment of their genuineness will be undertaken. Often this is through interviewing the individual to test the credibility of their intentions to undertake the role applied for which may lead to the refusal of their application.

The circumstances that would normally lead to the suspension or revocation of a sponsor licence, or any other compliance action are set out in Part 3 of the guidance for sponsors.
