Right to Work Reform – What's changing from 1 October 2026 and how to prepare

From 1 October 2026, the landscape for right to work checks in the UK will change significantly. The Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act 2025 will expand the scope of right to work checks and extend the potential civil penalty liability beyond the employer holding the direct contractual relationship with the worker. These changes will have important practical implications for recruitment, onboarding and ongoing workforce management.

Join our webinar where AG’s employment and immigration specialists will:

• Explain the new legislative framework and the latest Government guidance
• Highlight how the extended liability regime will apply in supply chains, group structures and outsourcing arrangements
• Set out key practical steps you can take now to prepare and to mitigate against compliance risk
