About this course
Right to Work Checks are a legal requirement for all UK employers. They protect organisations from employing individuals who are not permitted to work in the UK and help maintain fair, compliant recruitment practices.
By carrying out proper checks, employers help prevent illegal working, protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation, and maintain the integrity of their workforce. They also play a key role in demonstrating fair and consistent hiring practices, which is essential for compliance with the Equality Act and for creating an inclusive workplace.
This course explains the legal background to right to work checks, who they apply to, and the different methods available for carrying them out. It also explores best practices for verifying documents, keeping secure records, and applying the process fairly to all candidates, giving you the knowledge and confidence to protect your organisation and uphold the law.

Why is this training important?
Employing someone without the legal right to work in the UK can have serious consequences. Fines of up to £20,000 per worker, criminal prosecution, and even closure notices are possible for businesses that fail to meet their obligations.
This training helps learners understand the process from start to finish, so your business is protected against legal, financial, and reputational damage. Your team will be able to carry out checks fairly and consistently, giving you the confidence that every hire meets the legal requirements.
Right to Work Checks aren’t just about compliance – they’re about safeguarding your workplace, protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation, and maintaining the integrity of your recruitment process.
