Contact management policy, process and implementation

'Contact management' is the means by which the UK Border Agency maintains contact with asylum applicants and other applicants throughout the application process. The guidance on this page sets out how we do this.

The legal basis for requiring an applicant to report to the IS, or the police, is provided under section 21(2) of Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971 and was further expanded under section 71 of the Nationality and Immigration Act 2002.
