answer text <p>During the transition to eVisas, we are closely monitoring the volume of customers who have registered for a UKVI account and the forecast total volume of affected customers. The total volume will be dictated by ongoing approvals under BRP generating routes through to the end of 2024. This data requires detailed assurance before it can be published externally, which is currently underway. We plan to make this data available on gov.uk in due course.</p><p>Currently, an extensive communications campaign is being delivered in support of the transition to eVisas, to help raise awareness of eVisas, build understanding of how it applies to visa holders and checkers, and encourage them to take action. This campaign is taking place alongside numerous engagement events; in the last 12 months, over 180 engagement events have been undertaken with circa 26,000 participants, to raise awareness of the transition to eVisa with intermediaries, encouraging them to share the information with their customers, staff, clients, and members.</p>

answer text <p>An extensive communications campaign is being delivered in support of the transition from physical immigration documents to eVisas, to raise awareness of eVisas, build understanding of how it applies to visa holders and checkers, and encourage them to take action. This includes activity and messaging specifically targeting biometric residence permit (BRP) holding customers to register for a UKVI account by the end of 2024, when most BRPs expire, if they were not automatically provided with a UKVI account and eVisa when their most recent immigration application was approved.</p><p>The dedicated eVisa communications activity has run from Spring 2024 onwards and has included regular updates to GOV.UK, including the establishment of a dedicated eVisa webpage at www.gov.uk/eVisa, and online resources such as eVisa support videos, direct messaging to customers via email and text message, and a wide-ranging programme of engagement with relevant stakeholders and international carriers. A national eVisa advertising campaign to raise awareness of these changes commenced on 10 October 2024.</p><p>All communications activity has directed visa holders to www.gov.uk/eVisa, and, where appropriate, has highlighted the range of available support.</p><p>Alongside this campaign, over 180 engagement events have also been undertaken in the last 12 months, with circa 26,000 participants, to raise awareness of the transition to eVisa with intermediaries, encouraging them to share information with their customers, staff, clients, and members.</p>

answer text <p>Public protection is our priority. Offenders released early on ECSL are subject to a standard supervision licence which is designed to enable the Probation Service to manage the risk that offenders may pose on release from prison and to safeguard public protection. The recall process is the same for those released on ECSL and other standard releases.</p><p> </p><p>The decision to recall an offender on licensed supervision is taken on the professional advice of senior probation staff following consideration of safe alternatives to recall. Where offenders are recalled, it is because they present a risk of serious harm to the public and the controls available are no longer sufficient to keep the public safe. These individuals will remain in prison for only as long as necessary to protect the public. Guidance on the recall of offenders to prison is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/recall-review-and-re-release-of-recalled-prisoners." target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/recall-review-and-re-release-of-recalled-prisoners.</a></p>
