If you are dissatisfied with the service you receive from us, you can contact the Home Office.

What is a complaint?

The Home Office defines a complaint as an expression of dissatisfaction with the services provided by the Home Office. This is not the same as general correspondence from members of Parliament, the public expressing disagreement with a policy, or requests under the Freedom of Information Act.

How to make a complaint

Different areas of the Home Office have their own complaints procedures:

UK Visas and Immigration (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration/about/complaints-procedure)

Immigration Enforcement (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/immigration-enforcement/about/complaints-procedure)

Border Force (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/border-force/about/complaints-procedure)

Disclosure and Barring Service (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/disclosure-and-barring-service/about/complaints-procedure)

HM Passport Office (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-passport-office/about/complaints-procedure)

For other complaints, contact the Direct Communications Unit (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/contact-the-home-office).

Or write to us at:

Home OfficeDirect Communications Unit2 Marsham StreetLondon SW1P 4DF

When you contact us, please give us full details and include information (if you have it) about the part of the department you felt provided a dissatisfactory service. Please also provide us with the following details:
- the area of the Home Office to which your complaint refers and a contact name (if you have one)
- information on whether it is an original complaint or a follow-up to a reply you were not satisfied with
- a clear description of the complaint and what you would like us to do to sort things out
- your full postal address, phone number and e-mail address (if you have one)
We aim to respond to you within 20 working days.

What happens next

If you complain in writing, we aim to respond within 20 working days. If it is not possible to give you a full reply within this time (for example, if your complaint requires more detailed investigation), we will tell you what is being done and when you can expect a full response.

We will acknowledge where things could have been done better, and tell you what will be done to avoid the same thing happening again. Equally, if we do not uphold your complaint, we will let you know why.

Our response to you will include details of what to do if you believe your complaint has not been dealt with properly. You should start by contacting us again and asking for your complaint to be passed on to a more senior member of staff.

If you remain unsatisfied, you can also ask your member of Parliament to refer your case to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (http://www.ombudsman.org.uk/).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We TWMEDICS Services Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 TWMEDICS Services Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
TTM01300 - Introduction to tonnage tax: Tonnage tax profits:
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Method of calculation

Gross and net tonnage

Gross tonnage is used when deciding whether a ship is qualifying, for which it must be 100 gross tons or more, (see TTM03500 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm03500)).Net tonnage is used in the actual calculation of tonnage tax profit, (see TTM01330 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm01330)).Further description of the tonnage of ships and its various forms is set out in TTM15020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm15020).

Method of calculation

The legislation provides for a calculation of the tonnage tax profits in four steps, although in practice the stages may be combined.Step One – the daily profitDetermine the daily profit for each qualifying ship by reference to the following table (amounts in brackets are for managed-only ships):

For example, the daily profit of an operated ship with a net tonnage of 17,371 tons would be £68.40, made up of:

Step Two – ship’s profit for accounting periodMultiply the daily profit by the number of days in the accounting period,or, if operated for only part of the period, by the number of days in that part.

For example, if the ship mentioned above were operated for the whole of the accounting period ended 31 December 2003, the ship’s profit for that accounting period would be £24,966 (£68.40 x 365).

Step Three – repeat for each shipFollow Steps One and Two for each ship operated.Step Four – company’s profit for accounting periodAdd together the results for each ship to calculate the company’s tonnage tax profit for the accounting period.

Leap years

Because tonnage tax is a daily profit, the ship's profit in a leap year will be slightly higher than in a non-leap year (366 x the daily profit, rather than 365 x the daily profit).

Joint and multiple interests in same ship

For joint interest in ship at same level see TTM01310 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm01310).For multiple interests in same ship at different levels see TTM01320 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm01320).

Example

See the example at TTM01340 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/tonnage-tax-manual/ttm01340) for an illustration of how a tonnage tax computation might be set out in practice.

Tonnage tax calculator

A simple way of computing the tonnage tax profit for one or more ships can be accessed at Tax Calculator (http://home.active.hmrci/ttmmanual/attachments/Calculator.xls).

Universal Periodic Review 48: UK Statement on Iraq
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-28)

UK Statement at Iraq's Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Delivered by the UK's Human Rights Ambassador, Eleanor Sanders.

Thank you, Mr President,

The United Kingdom welcomes the steps taken by Iraq in 2024 to implement the Yazidi Survivors Law, a groundbreaking piece of legislation and an important first step to provide justice for survivors.

We urge the Government to ensure the protection of freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly, and to strengthen legal protection guarantees for journalists, the media and civil society.

We recommend that Iraq:

Protects the right to freedom of assembly, including by holding accountable any perpetrators of violence against protestors.

Strengthens the capacity and independence of the judicial system to investigate and prosecute perpetrators of sexual violence, and provide effective and necessary support for victims.

Ensures that amendments to Iraq’s Personal Status Law, including the code to be subsequently developed, are in line with Iraq’s International Commitments on women and children’s rights.

Thank you.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We McCormack Training Limited will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 McCormack Training Limited recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Ofqual’s action plan for the prevention of qualification fraud
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-17)

Ofqual sets out strengthened measures to find and tackle qualification fraud, aiming to stop people gaining certificates without doing the work to demonstrate their skills and knowledge.

Qualifications do not just have a purchase price, they have an associated value – they are a passport to employment, relocation or further education. Everyone should be able to trust that a certificate proves that the holder has undertaken specific training and demonstrated the appropriate level of competence. Employers want to trust that people are properly and legitimately qualified to do their job.

Sometimes people try to get a certificate without doing the work to demonstrate they have necessary skills and knowledge. Organisations sometimes profit by helping people to cheat. Falsifying qualification certificates can also be a gateway to facilitate wider criminal activity.

We are setting out a package of measures that we consider necessary to strengthen steps to find, tackle and prevent qualification fraud.

Ofqual will:

1) work with other industry licensing organisations, sector regulators and government agencies to jointly tackle qualification fraud and, where necessary, work with appropriate enforcement agencies to deal with associated criminal activity

2) issue a Fraud Prevention Advice Note to AOs so that they can better address the risk of fraud in accordance with their conditions of recognition

3) explore methods for intelligence sharing and collaborative use of data between awarding organisations

4) help people spot qualification fraud and deter fraud from happening by making clear the consequences

5) make it easier to report suspicious activity and concerns

A list of organisations that have confirmed their support of Ofqual’s Fraud Action Plan is available as an annex in the attached action plan document.
