Register of sponsors

This page explains what the register of sponsors is and how you should use it under Tier 2 Minsiters of religion of the points-based system.

What is the register of sponsors?

All employers who want to act as a sponsor need a licence. Once they get a licence, they are added to the register of sponsors.

The register of sponsors has the name, location and rating of the organisation. The current register can be downloaded from the right side of this page.

All sponsors are given an A rating or B rating when they join the register. A B rating is a transitional rating and means that the sponsor is working with us to improve their systems.
