Webinar Replay: The Salary Games: Responding to the 22 July changes to the Skilled Worker route

On 22 July 2025, major changes to the immigration rules took effect. This included a significant reduction to the list of jobs eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship and an end to overseas recruitment of social care workers.

With the consequences now emerging, it is essential for practitioners to understand how these developments affect their clients and how they can advise their clients to adjust accordingly.

In this webinar we covered:

• an analysis of how the 22 July 2025 changes are affecting all employers of skilled workers
• a review of the effect on the health and social care sector
• guidance on advising clients in light of the rule changes
• the future direction of the skilled worker route
