CHAIN is a multi-agency database recording information about rough sleepers and the wider street population in London.<\/p> The Rough Sleeping Support Service, which was first announced in August 2018 as part of the Government\u2019s Rough Sleeping Strategy, was introduced to help non-UK nationals sleeping rough resolve their immigration cases and access the support that they need. It does not undertake any enforcement action. It has an administrative role, conducting status checks, identifying priority cases and ensuring that we can help those who require evidence of their immigration status or assistance in leaving the UK.<\/p> The Home Office may take action on a case-by-case basis where individuals have exhausted all other avenues and are unwilling to leave the UK voluntarily. This is in line with existing immigration law.<\/p> Removals of non-UK rough sleepers cannot be disaggregated in the published statistics on the removal of those without lawful status. It is also not possible to directly attribute removals to interaction with the RSSS because a range of factors will have affected how decisions were reached in these cases. A person\u2019s removal from the UK is determined by their immigration Under the EU Settlement Scheme, we conduct automated checks of certain tax and benefits records held by HM Revenue & Customs and the Department for Work and Pensions, where the applicant chooses to provide their National Insurance number. The checks help to provide evidence of the applicant\u2019s residence in the UK and remove or reduce the need for them to submit documentary evidence of this.<\/p> The business logic of how the checks calculate the period of residence is available on gov.uk at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/eu-settlement-scheme-uk-tax-and-benefits-records-automated-check<\/a><\/p> We have also published there the memorandum of understanding with each department, reasons why records may not be found, and guidance on the wide range of other evidence we can use to confirm UK residence.<\/p> All applications under the scheme are decided by a caseworker.<\/p>"}
