Amidst ongoing workforce shortages in the education sector, many organisations are recruiting workers from outside the UK to fill roles.

[Julie Moktadir](https://www.stoneking.co.uk/literature/webinar-recording/practicalities-recruiting-overseas), Head of Immigration at [Stone King](https://www.stoneking.co.uk/), and Matt Brown, from specialist recruitment agency iCan Teach, have produced a three-part video series explaining what schools need to know.

‘Teacher recruitment from overseas’ is the first video in the series and gives a broad overview of the main considerations facing organisations recruiting workers from outside the UK, watch [here](https://www.stoneking.co.uk/literature/webinar-recording/watch-teacher-recruitment-overseas).

This is followed by ‘What are the practicalities of recruiting teachers from overseas?’ which covers a number of topics including:

- Recent immigration law reforms
- Understanding the allocation
- Available immigration routes

It can be watched [here](https://www.stoneking.co.uk/literature/webinar-recording/practicalities-recruiting-overseas).

The final session in the series is ‘How to support and remain compliant – from a safeguarding and sponsorship perspective’ and looks at how organisations can remain compliant with UK immigration law and support overseas national workers within their education setting.

It provides a comprehensive overview of key factors educational organisations should consider from the point overseas workers enter the UK to begin teaching.
