A method performed in an infrastructure equipment acting as a target for a handover of a wireless communications device from another infrastructure equipment acting as a source infrastructure equipment, the source infrastructure equipment and the target infrastructure equipment forming part of a wireless communications network, the method comprising receiving a handover request message indicating a request for handover of the wireless communications device from the source infrastructure equipment to the target infrastructure equipment, receiving an indication from the source infrastructure equipment as to whether or not user plane data is being transmitted to or received from the wireless access network via the source infrastructure equipment using an integrity protection scheme, determining whether or not the integrity protection scheme for the user plane data is supported by the target infrastructure equipment, transmitting a handover command to the source infrastructure equipment to indicate to the source infrastructure equipment that the source infrastructure equipment should handover the wireless communications device, and transmitting, an indication as to whether or not the integrity protection scheme is supported by the target infrastructure equipment for transmitting or receiving user plane data via the target infrastructure equipment, the transmitting the indication as to whether or not the integrity protection scheme is supported by the target infrastructure equipment including either if the integrity protection scheme is not enabled for the target infrastructure equipment and the user plane data is being transmitted to or received from the source infrastructure equipment using the integrity protection scheme, transmitting the indication that the target infrastructure equipment cannot support the integrity protection scheme for the wireless communications device to disable the integrity protection scheme as part of the handover, or if the integrity protection scheme is enabled for the target infrastructure equipment and the user plane data is being transmitted to or received from the source infrastructure equipment without using the integrity protection scheme, transmitting the indication that the target infrastructure equipment can support the integrity protection scheme for the wireless communications device to enable the integrity protection scheme as part of the handover. receiving a handover request message indicating a request for handover of the wireless communications device from the source infrastructure equipment to the target infrastructure equipment, receiving an indication from the source infrastructure equipment as to whether or not user plane data is being transmitted to or received from the wireless access network via the source infrastructure equipment using an integrity protection scheme, determining whether or not the integrity protection scheme for the user plane data is supported by the target infrastructure equipment, transmitting a handover command to the source infrastructure equipment to indicate to the source infrastructure equipment that the source infrastructure equipment should handover the wireless communications device, and transmitting, an indication as to whether or not the integrity protection scheme is supported by the target infrastructure equipment for transmitting or receiving user plane data via the target infrastructure equipment, the transmitting the indication as to whether or not the integrity protection scheme is supported by the target infrastructure equipment including either if the integrity protection scheme is not enabled for the target infrastructure equipment and the user plane data is being transmitted to or received from the source infrastructure equipment using the integrity protection scheme, transmitting the indication that the target infrastructure equipment cannot support the integrity protection scheme for the wireless communications device to disable the integrity protection scheme as part of the handover, or
