STOP PRESS: This Practice Note is currently being updated for changes to the Sponsor Guidance which came into force on 6 March 2026. See News Analysis: Detailed list of Home Office’s Sponsor Guidance changes of 6 March 2026. When can the Home Office carry out a visit or digital compliance inspection? The Home Office may conduct compliance visits to a licensed sponsor’s premises, or any location the sponsor controls, at any time, with or without notice. It might also attend addresses where sponsored workers will be, or are, carrying out their duties, which can include a third party’s site. Where that applies, officials will expect to review evidence of arrangements between the sponsor and the third party that secure the third party’s full co-operation. Such checks can happen at short notice, whether announced or unannounced. The sponsor must make sure any such third party understands that unplanned, unannounced visits and checks could take place at their premises, and must secure their full co-operation. Responsibility rests with the...

The remediation sector has shifted rapidly under a range of drivers. The UK Government’s push for sustainable development, pre‑Brexit European legislation, and a growing recognition of the need to safeguard groundwater have all influenced practice. As a result, remedial strategies are now more intricate, creating heightened technical and legal challenges for stakeholders. Approaches to remediation and risk Less ‘dig and dump’ projects and more sustainable remedial solutions From a technical and legal standpoint, remediation in the 1980s and 1990s was comparatively straightforward. Contaminated soil was commonly dug out and dispatched to low‑cost landfill, while groundwater was treated only where an abstraction was affected. The client’s obligations typically ceased once the waste entered the landfill. Legal exposure was largely confined to any residual contamination at the excavation margins and to the standard of imported materials used to reinstate the void. Reduced dependence on landfill has encouraged more innovative, sustainable approaches, leading to a rise in on‑site treatment solutions. Where contaminated material does leave site, it is commonly...
