<p>The ICIBI’s report acknowledged that Border Force has built strong organisational
trust and has a supportive culture through a specific programme for identifying and
preventing insider threats, which built on existing vetting and security procedures.
The Home Office has also instituted several support mechanisms to provide help to
its staff.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Home Office does not recognise the morale of
staff to be a current issue in the response to, and management of, dangerous, illegal
and unnecessary crossings of the Channel by migrants in Small Boats. The Small Boats
Operational Command (SBOC) of Border Force has a number of support mechanisms in place
to provide help to its staff and so lesson risks to morale. Since integrating into
Border Force, and with new governance structures in place, the Small Boats Operational
Command (SBOC) can proactively manage and prioritise mental health and wellbeing in
line with the wider Command, ensuring staff feel supported.</p>
