Each person’s case is considered on the specific individual circumstances surrounding their immigration and/or offending history.</p><p> </p><p>Following Stephen Shaw’s review into the welfare in detention of vulnerable persons a number of casework changes were introduced to improve the efficiency of case progression and therefore reduce the time any individual spends in immigration detention. These include a single Detention Gatekeeper function to ensure an independent assessment on the suability for detention is made and Case Progression Panels to provide an internally independent review of suitability for continued detention and the progression of case actions.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office will also soon introduce a duty from the 2016 Immigration Act to provide additional judicial oversight of immigration detention to the Immigration and Asylum Chamber. This ‘auto-bail provision’ will involve those in immigration detention being referred to the Tribunal for a bail hearing every 4 months.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 18/10/2017 14:49:06 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
