Meeting with [REDACTED]

Present: [REDACTED]

Key issues:

• 5 year grant of asylum, DLR for minors at 17.5?

o There is a policy in place for conducting reviews but implementing it is a problem eg doing this work would distract COs from working towards targets. If CO works on this role they will not be able to do other work. There is guidance on it but do not know yet who will do it and when.

o Similar issue for Section IV ie who is going to review these cases when they have other work to do?

Notes:

5 Year Grant Review and revoked claims

• 5 year grant of asylum, DLR for minors at 17.5?

o There is a policy in place for conducting reviews but implementing it is a problem eg doing this work would distract COs from working towards targets. If CO works on this role they will not be able to do other work. There is guidance on it but do not know yet who will do it and when.

o Similar issue for Section IV ie who is going to review these cases when they have other work to do?

o Same for revoked claims - CO should do the work, bit isn't high priority as not contributing to target. Plus it is not easy to revoke leave.

• Policy for active review but is not a priority for COs - but no-one else to do it.

• Plus, do these cases go back to CO or new office like CRD? But COs not happy if do not get credit. Same for children.
