**Job summary**:
Immigration Enforcement is responsible for enforcing the government’s immigration laws, tackling illegal migration, removing foreign national offenders and immigration offenders from the UK. It also aims to disrupt the organised criminal groups that exploit the vulnerable for their personal gain. Learn more on the Immigration Enforcement careers page.

Interventions Sanctions and Compliance (ISC) sits within Immigration Enforcement and is responsible for 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 embedded as business as usual.

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 enough 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.
