An inspection of how the Home Office engages with councils in the development of asylum accommodation has been launched.
Undertaken by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI), it will consider the impact on local services and community cohesion during site selection.
The inspection will examine local asylum accommodation delivery models and initiatives and the Home Office’s engagement with local authorities.
The ICIBI will also focus on how the Government department ensures that accommodation providers fulfil their responsibilities for engagement with local authorities.
