皇冠体育app way we work

Commissions are sent to the聽MAC聽from the Home Secretary, which are published on our website along with a response from the chair of the聽MAC.

Depending on the scope of the project, we may release a timed call for evidence (CfE). This is a public consultation where we welcome comments, supported by evidence, from the public, industry or representative bodies through a digital form.

We go out and meet with interested stakeholders around the UK and through remote meetings.

Our analysts carry out in-house data gathering, analysis and modelling.

When required, we also commission external modelling and research. 罢丑别听MAC聽has previously engaged with third party experts who support the committee with evidence building.

We write up findings and conclusions with policy recommendations considering the full range of evidence.

皇冠体育app Home Secretary receives the report the day before publication.

After careful consideration, the Home Office publishes an official response to our recommendations.
