Event Speakers: Sian Saunby, Evan Tutton

Fragomen's Immigration Compliance and WorkRight teams are hosting a webinar focused on the new UK Right to Work requirements taking effect on 1 October 2026 and the practical implications for employers.

As the UK's Right to Work framework continues to evolve, employers must ensure their processes, policies and compliance controls keep pace with changing regulatory requirements. Failure to adapt can expose organizations to compliance risks, operational disruption and potential liability.

This webinar will provide a practical overview of the upcoming changes and explore the steps employers can take to prepare before the new requirements come into force. Attendees will gain insight into the key areas of employer exposure, best practices for maintaining compliance and strategies for strengthening Right to Work processes for the future.

The session will be led by Senior Immigration Manager Sian Saunby (Fragomen WorkRight) and Manager Evan Tutton who will share practical guidance based on their experience supporting organizations with immigration compliance and workforce management obligations.

Discussion topics will include:

      • An overview of the new Right to Work requirements taking effect on 1 October 2026
      • Key compliance risks and potential areas of employer exposure
      • Best practices for updating internal processes and procedures
      • Practical steps to strengthen and future-proof your organization's compliance strategy

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the forthcoming changes and practical actions they can implement to help ensure ongoing compliance and operational readiness.

This webinar is intended for HR professionals, talent acquisition teams, global mobility professionals, compliance specialists, legal teams, and business leaders responsible for recruitment, onboarding, and workforce compliance.
