The work of the UK Border Agency is now undertaken by the UK Visas and
Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement Directorates of the Home
Department. For border security reasons, it is not possible to provide a
breakdown of staff numbers by location. Furthermore, staff are deployed
flexibly according to demand and therefore move between locations. As at 31st
May 2014, however, there were 164 members of staff based in Northern Ireland
across the UK Visas and Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement
Directorates.<\/p>

The Home Office does not centrally hold data on locations that staff are
recruited from. To identify this information, we would therefore need to review
each individual recruitment campaign, which would incur disproportionate cost.
Staff are deployed flexibly according to demand and move between locations and
regions. In order to provide information therefore on staff in the UK Visas and
Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement Directorates who reside
in Northern Ireland, locally held deployment plans would need
to be collected and analysed against individual employee's home addresses. This
would incur disproportionate cost.<\/p>

26 recognised Civil Service professions exist across government to ensure civil
servants are able to develop and deliver a professional service.
Civil servants can find resources and information to support their professional
development on the Civil Service Learning portal which is accessible to all civil servants.
All professions have a head of profession; appointed for their experience,
knowledge and skills, who support the development of the profession and work
with key partners to develop timely learning curricula, which are aligned to
the Civil Service Competency Framework (CSCF), and civil service priorities.
Each of the frameworks and curricula offer a wealth of learning opportunities
including qualifications, workshops, and masterclasses.
Within the Home Office, opportunities for professional development are linked
closely with business requirements . The Home Office has 18 established
professions. They are: Communications, Corporate Finance, Government Economic
Service, Government Finance, Government IT Profession, Government Legal
Service, Government Property Profession, Government Social Research, Government
Veterinary Profession, Human Resources, Internal Audit, Knowledge and
Information Management, Operational Delivery, Policy Profession, Procurement,
Project Delivery, Science & Engineering, Statistical Services.
Given the differing range of learning opportunities available for individual
professions, there is no single source which can identify exactly what
development courses are available to staff and what the cost to the public
purse of every professional development course is.<\/p>

This information could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
Complaints are normally dealt with by the line management chain within
Departments in the first instance, with the most serious cases escalated to
senior managers, HR or the Permanent Secretary.
Where a Civil Servant is not satisfied with how the matter has been handled by
a Department, he or she can raise the matter with the Civil Service Commission.
The Commission publishes details of the number of complaints received annually.<\/p>
