- Interventions, Sanctions and Compliance (ISC) is part of Immigration Enforcement and is responsible for encouraging compliance with the immigration rules as part of the overall enforcement effort to tackle illegal migration and those who help facilitate it. To achieve this we have two key aims:
- The effective operation of the measures known collectively as the Compliant Environment comprising of a series of legislative and non-legislative measures, built upon a framework of compliance, deterrence and data-sharing, underpinned by safeguards, which strengthen eligibility checks on migrant access to work, benefits and services.
- Implementing a bespoke, flexible and resilient approach to reporting and tracing commensurate with the harm, risk and vulnerability of the individual, enabling us to prioritise and improve our contact and tracing methods, so we focus on more timely and meaningful interventions, developing and using levers to tackle non-compliance, supporting the delivery of outcomes and returns.

Interventions Sanctions & Compliance (ISC) within Immigration Enforcement is implementing a wide range of measures to make it systematically harder for people to illegally enter or remain in the UK. Some of these measures derive from the Immigration Act 2014 & 2016 (‘the Act’) and are now becoming day-to-day business.

Measures derived from the Act are only part of the work that ISC is progressing. It is working with existing partners and establishing new partnerships in the public and private sector to increase the range of interventions and sanctions to make it harder for people to live in the UK illegally.

ISC is acting to ensure that partners have sufficient and robust systems and processes in place to protect benefits and services from immigration abuse and increase compliance with the rules. ISC has embedded systematic, reciprocal data sharing arrangements with partners in Government and the private sector. This has empowered these departments to make informed decisions on who should be granted benefits and services.
