Home Office ‘Earned Settlement’ Consultation OpenThe Home Office have opened a public consultation: Reforming Asylum Support and Enforcing Family Returns Government Consultation.
The consultation is on the UK Government’s approach to family returns. It seeks views on:
• the commencement of provisions in the Immigration Act 2016 that would enable the withdrawal of support from families who do not have a genuine barrier to leaving the UK; and
• the process for enforcing the removal of families, including proposals relating to the circumstances in which physical interventions may be used in the course of an enforced return.
It is open until the 28th of May 2026.
