Call for Evidence: An inspection of Home Office operations to effect the removal of foreign national offenders
Deadline extended to Friday 2 December. The Chief Inspector invites anyone with knowledge and experience of the Home Office’s operations to effect the removal of foreign national offenders to submit evidence for his next inspection.
In line with his 2022-23 inspection plan, the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration has commenced an inspection of Home Office operations to effect the removal of foreign national offenders.
This inspection will examine the processes and procedures in place to remove foreign national offenders with a particular focus on:
- the effectiveness and quality of the services provided by the Immigration Prison Teams
- the prioritisation of cases for removal and the effectiveness of the early removal and facilitated returns schemes
- the Home Office’s strategy for the collection, monitoring and reporting of FNO data, and how this data is used to capture best practice and drive improvements
The Independent Chief Inspector invites anyone with knowledge and experience of these Home Office teams and functions to submit evidence to inform this inspection and would be pleased to hear both what is working well and what could be improved. Submissions touching on any and all areas of interest, including those that may not be mentioned above, are therefore welcome.

Please note: My statutory remit does not extend to investigating or making decisions about individual applications. This remains a Home Office responsibility. But, I am able and do take an interest in individual cases to the extent that they illustrate or point to systemic problems.
