<p>All asylum claims lodged in the UK are carefully considered on their individual
merits against a background of relevant case law and up to date country information.
We ensure that claimants are given every opportunity to disclose information relevant
to their claim before a decision is taken, even where that information may be sensitive
or difficult to disclose.</p><p> </p><p>We are working to improve the quality of decision-making
to ensure that we properly consider all the evidence provided and get decisions right
the first time. UK Visas and Immigration has an internal audit process, consisting
of reviews by senior case workers and independent auditors, which assesses whether
Home Office policy has been followed.</p><p> </p><p>An allowed appeal is not in itself
an indication that our decision was incorrect at the time it was made though we aim
to reduce the allowed appeal rate by analysing the reasons why appeals are allowed
and using this to further improve guidance and training.</p>
