The government is raising the bar on umbrella company compliance.

For FCSA Members, that bar was cleared a long time ago.

New legislation means tighter definitions, greater due diligence expectations, and real consequences for non-compliance. The days of cutting corners are numbered.

But if you're already working with an FCSA Accredited Member, this isn't a scramble, it's validation.

Our Members don't meet minimum standards. They exceed them. That's the whole point.
If your supply chain partners aren't already operating at this level, it's time to ask why.

It's National Apprenticeship Week, and if you're not using your Apprenticeship Levy, you're leaving money on the table.

Through the FCSA Levy Network, large employers can transfer unused levy funds to smaller businesses across the recruitment and contractor services sector and beyond, helping them upskill their teams at no cost.

No catch. No hidden fees. Just funding that's already been paid, put to proper use.

Whether it's compliance training, leadership development, or sector-specific qualifications, the Levy Network connects the dots between surplus funds and real workforce development.

£4,000,000+. Pledged by FCSA Accredited Members through the Levy Network.

That's unused Apprenticeship Levy funding redirected towards upskilling workers across the temporary labour market.

Money that would otherwise sit untouched, now put to work where it matters.

The umbrella consultation has landed.

Today, the government published 'Make Work Pay: Modernising the Agency Work Regulatory Framework' – a 63-page consultation that could reshape how the temporary labour market is regulated.

It covers four pillars: security, transparency, choice, and modernisation. The proposals include bringing umbrella companies within scope of the Conduct Regulations, restricting kickbacks, preventing workers from being forced into umbrella arrangements, and streamlining administrative burdens for compliant businesses.

The consultation closes on 1st May 2026.

FCSA will be developing a comprehensive response, drawing on the expertise of our Accredited Members, Recruiter Partners, Business Partners and our Industry Working Group.

We've been calling for fit-for-purpose regulation for years. Now we need to make sure the detail matches the ambition.

More to follow.
