<p>Asylum seekers are not required to report until they have received a negative decision
on their application and when they are in receipt of support, their travel costs are
met.</p><p>Individuals may be required to attend the nearest reporting centre or other
location, including police stations, to their home address. There is no upper limit
to the distance which an individual may be required to travel in order to attend their
nearest reporting location but the Home Office assesses the needs of all types of
reportees, not only asylum seekers when deciding reporting frequency and location.</p><p>As
part of Immigration Enforcement’s transformation programme the Home Office is rationalising
the use of reporting locations to move reportees to locations which are fully resourced
to deal with each individual and their needs. We work closely with our estates partners
to identify sites that provide adequate access to the public, security and accommodation
that would enable us to provide a good level of service to the reporting population.</p><p>Individuals
would only be required to report to Salford if this is the nearest suitable reporting
location to their address.</p>
