Engaging with corporate partners

This page explains how and why the UK Border Agency works to engage with its corporate partners.

Consultation with key partners throughout the UK and around the world is crucial to transforming the immigration system. We recognise that our proposals to strengthen checks on identity and tackle illegal working in particular may place some extra burdens on business. We are working in partnership with those concerned to minimise these.

A number of our proposals will simplify regulation and reduce bureaucracy. Our plans to overhaul the complex laws, rules and guidance on immigration will help public servants, visitors, employers, education providers and the travel industry alike.

The main vehicle for engagement with key corporate partners is the corporate partner group.

We also publish UK Border Agency News, a bi-monthly update for our corporate partners.
