Paragraph: 69
Home Office Country Policy Notes show concerning inaccuracies affecting asylum claim decisions.
Conclusion
We share expert witnesses’ concerns about the performance of the Home Office Country Policy and Information Team and the accuracy and timeliness of Country Policy and Information Notes (CPINs). We heard several examples of outdated or otherwise inaccurate CPINs leading to poor initial decisions and flawed legal arguments being made, particularly in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity-based claims.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government dismisses concerns about the Country Policy and Information Team's performance and CPIN quality, stating that a discrete review is not necessary. It explains that CPIT regularly reviews and updates CPINs and its products are already subject to external review.
