Immigration Enforcement is responsible for enforcing the government’s immigration laws, tackling illegal migration, removing foreign national offenders and immigration offenders from the UK. It also aims to disrupt the organised criminal groups that exploit the vulnerable for their personal gain. Learn more on our careers pages.
The Skylark team delivers three key work streams.
The Foreign National Offender (FNO) Hub is a joint Immigration Enforcement (IE) and policing response that focuses on identifying foreign national offenders and high-risk foreign nationals with no convictions who pose a threat to the public. This work enables the removal of individuals who present harm within communities.
The Non FNO Hub is a cross migration and Borders case progression function that identifies foreign nationals arrested on suspicion of serious criminality in the UK. The team reviews actions taken, identifies learning and drives change to strengthen future operational responses.
Police Compliance works to increase referrals from Police Forces across the UK into National Command and Control Unit (NCCU) and the wider IE system. Using complex data sets, the team produces performance products and identifies missed opportunities for immigration enforcement intervention.
Across all three work streams, Skylark focuses on engagement and collaboration with the Home Office, Immigration Enforcement, UK policing, Association of Chief Police Officers Criminal Records Office (ACRO), international criminality partners and police national database users. The aim is to build stronger working relationships, improve understanding of shared priorities and create a unified approach to prioritising high harm foreign national offenders.
A core objective is to develop effective data sharing arrangements between policing and Immigration Enforcement, improving public and border protection. By sharing and analysing data, the team identifies, prioritises and manages foreign nationals who pose a persistent criminal threat to communities.
The Skylark Progression Team Leader provides senior operational leadership, ensuring the rapid and safe progression of the highest harm and highest risk individuals.
