The UK Border Agency has published a report on progress made by the asylum improvement project.

The asylum improvement project was set up to explore new ways to speed up the processing of asylum applications. The report outlines the progress we have made so far on 25 elements of the project and explains the next steps for asylum reform. It is too early to make a robust assessment of the impact of all 25 elements of the project, but we will do so over the coming months, as part of the next phase of asylum reform.

The asylum improvement project has made a good start by ensuring we can take a more sophisticated approach to scheduling each part of the process, a more consistent approach to how we approach each task and robust analysis of outcomes. Taken together, these things will ensure that we have a balanced system and continually improve our performance.
