Details

The Code of Standards sets the standards of conduct which are expected to be met by regulated advisers and regulated organisations and delivered for clients.

The code is made in accordance with paragraph 3 (1) of Schedule 5 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, as amended. The code applies to any organisation or person providing immigration advice or immigration services in the UK in relation to a “relevant matter” as listed in section 82 of the Act except for those listed in Schedule 5, paragraph 3 (3).

The 2024 Code of Standards, for which there is a set of guidance notes, took effect on 1 September 2024. Work completed prior to 1 September 2024 will continue to be subject to the 2016 Code of Standards.

We are aware that some of these publications may have accessibility issues. We are reviewing them so that we can fix these.
