star this property answer text <p>The Home Office’s online right to work checking service has been in operation for over two years. It enables employers to undertake free digital checks on prospective employees with a biometric residence card, status under the EU Settlement Scheme or the new Points-Based System. The online service is more secure than physical document checks and relies on real-time information from the Home Office about an individual’s status.</p><p>Since its inception, the service has been used by employers over 150,000 times and feedback from employers and user groups has been positive.</p><p>The online right to work checking service is part of our wider ambition to develop a border and immigration system which is “digital by default” for all migrants, including evidence of immigration status. Over time this means we will increasingly replace physical and paper-based products and services with accessible, easy to use online and digital services. As part of this, we continue to work closely with employers and employers’ groups, including on the merits of specialist technology, such as Identity Document Validation Technology, in conducting checks.</p><p>In March 2020, we introduced an adjusted right to work checking process to support businesses through the pandemic. We are currently conducting a review of the process to ensure the current and future checking regimes meet the requirements of employers through the unique circumstances presented by the pandemic, whilst maintaining the security and integrity of our system in the long-term.</p>

Those who commit hate crimes attack the fundamental values that underpin our diverse society, values of acceptance and respect for others. The cross Government hate crime action plan covers all five monitored strands of hate crime, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. Religion in this context includes people defined by reference to their religious belief or lack of religious belief.</p><p>This includes Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians, and different sects within a religion. It also includes people who have changed faith and people who do not hold any religious beliefs. We are working in partnership with a number of organisations including Streetwise and the Anne Frank Trust to raise awareness of hate crimes including religiously motivated hate crimes and the importance of reporting incidents. The Government does not currently collect data on crimes motivated by anti-apostasy.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government is clear that violence and abuse towards any worker is not acceptable. We introduced a statutory aggravating factor for assault against any public facing worker via section 156 of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. The aggravating factor applies in cases of assault where an offence is committed against those providing a public service, performing a public duty or providing a service to the public. This legislative change ensures the courts treat the public-facing nature of a victim’s role as an aggravating factor when considering the sentence for an offence.</p><p>As Minister for Crime and Policing, I chair the National Retail Crime Steering Group (NRCSG), this group is co-chaired by the British Retail Consortium. It brings together Government, the retail industry and law enforcement to develop our response to retail crime.</p><p>Crime surveys undertaken by the retail trade associations, such as the Association of Convenience Stores, the British Retail Consortium and USDAW are valuable sources of information and help to shape the discussion at the NRCSG.</p><p>The next meeting of the NRCSG will take place on 17 July and members will discuss the impact of the statutory aggravating factor for assault offences committed against retail workers and other public facing workers.</p><p>The Home Office has facilitated a number of task and finish groups, comprising members of the NRCSG. Recently these have aimed to encourage retailers to engage with their local Business Crime Reduction Partnership to work with police and support local efforts to reduce crimes like shoplifting, and how powers in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 can be used to tackle prolific offending in retail settings, building on guidance already provided by the National Business Crime Centre. These crimes are most effectively tackled when retailers and local policing teams work together.</p>
