The Home Office is a UK government department that has two main sister departments that are involved in work surrounding immigration, passports and "counter-terrorism". These are: the Identity and Passport Service and the UK Border Agency.
Goals
The Home Office states that its aims and objectives are based on seven key issues:[1]
- Help people feel safer in their homes and local communities
- Support visible, responsive and accountable policing
- Protect the public from terrorist attack
- Cut crime, especially violent, drug and alcohol-related crime
- Strengthen our borders, fast track asylum decisions, ensure and enforce compliance with our immigration laws, and boost Britain's economy
- Safeguard people's identity and the privileges of citizenship
- Work with our partners to build an efficient, effective and proportionate criminal justice system
