The Home Office currently employs 1,375 asylum caseworkers in total, as of January 2023.

We do not have an exact breakdown of asylum caseworkers currently employed by the Home Office, in term of number of years served.

We have implemented a recruitment and retention allowance which has reduced Decision Maker attrition rates by 30%, helping us maintain experienced asylum Decision Makers.
