Recommendation 75

Deferred
Paragraph: 221
Collect, analyse, and publish data on reasons individuals refuse National Referral Mechanism entry.
Recommendation
There has been a troubling and unwelcome rise in the number of adults choosing not to enter the National Referral Mechanism, who may be at risk of further exploitation. It is unclear why the Home Office does not collect, analyse, and publish data on why individuals are refusing to consent to enter the NRM. We recommend that the Home Office corrects this deficiency immediately.
Government Response Summary
The government stated it is monitoring and evaluating the New Plan for Immigration and related Acts, analysing data from a range of indicators, but did not commit to collecting data specifically on why individuals refuse to consent to enter the NRM.

77. The Home Office is monitoring and evaluating the New Plan for Immigration and the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, and has revised this work to take into account the Illegal Migration Act 2023. The programme monitoring will analyse data from a range of indicators to assess whether the measures introduced are meeting our objectives. Evaluation will be conducted in line with HM Treasury Magenta Book principles to provide detailed insight on the process, impact and value for money of changes implemented, and will be integrated into the delivery of the Acts.
