A sponsor must maintain their systems and policies in order to maintain their rating. The Home Office may reassess this rating at any time, and a potential compliance visit will determine if an organisation still meets the criteria for an A rating. If the Home Office finds that a business is not complying with the sponsor duties, it may be downgraded to B rating. A B rated sponsor will need to. A time limit action plan to regain their air rating if they cannot meet the requirements of the action plan within the specified time frame, the license will be revoked.
