Action plan

The register records this sponsor as Subject To Action Plan. That is a statement of what the register says, not a prediction about the licence.

An action plan is a corrective measure for a breach short of a serious breach. While one is in force UKVI may limit the sponsor’s CAS allocation, including to zero, and a sponsor is expected to tell its students how the plan affects them. What this means in practice →

Built from the country breakdown, which rounds every country to the nearest five and drops the smallest to zero — so the latest year here reads a little below the 2,210 non-UK total above, which HESA publishes as a single figure.
