<p>We have published guidance and a statutory code of practice for employers, which
contains information on when to contact the Home Office Employer Checking Service
(ECS).</p><p>This information is kept up to date and can be accessed on GOV.UK at:</p><p><a

The Home Office engages regularly with a wide range of employers and their representative
bodies either via established Home Office-led fora such as the Home Office consultation
groups, as part of engagement with other government departments, or upon invitation
to other events including webinars. We will continue to work closely with businesses
to ensure processes are secure, accessible and employers understand their obligations
and responsibilities concerning right to work checks and use of the ECS.</p>
