Appointment of Second Permanent Secretary to Home Office

Home Office signs up to Windrush action plan

The Home Office has signed up to a legally-binding action plan to address its failures to comply with the law in the Windrush scandal. The move follows a ruling last November by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) that it broke equality law when setting its “hostile environment” policy. The policy, introduced by Theresa May in 2012 when she was home secretary, was intended to deter illegal immigrants from remaining in the UK. However it led to hundreds of members of the “Windrush generation” – who legally came to Britain from the Caribbean in the decades following the Second World War – being wrongfully detained and denied their rights.

Difficulties developing the software vital to monitoring who comes in and out of the UK is just one of the issues relating to the Home Office’s Digital Services at the Border (DSAB) programme, which was supposed to go live in March 2019, but will not be delivered until 2022, a delay that will hit the public purse to the tune of £173m.
