Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department has issued as part of Operation Skybreaker on effective engagement with community groups, faith leaders, local police safer neighbourhood panels, safer neighbourhood boards and others.

Operation Skybreaker is predominantly based on standard Immigration Enforcement operation procedures. Where new approaches have been adopted, additional guidance has been issued to officers on employer compliance visits. The guidance covers the purpose and aims of such visits, powers of entry, risks, actions to take place during the visit, what officers are not authorised to do and the recording of information post-visit. A Policy Equality Statement was produced to measure the type and extent of engagement; regular Community Impact Assessments are also completed.
