In light of the current unrest across the UK caused by far-right activists, the Office of Immigration Services Commissioner have amended their website due to “unverified information circulating regarding the potential targeting of immigration lawyers and migrant support organisations”.
They currently have temporary removed the ‘Adviser Finder’ and ‘Adviser Register’ from their website. These features were removed on Monday the 5th, so from then, if you require assistance, they urge you to contact them through their general email address info@oisc.gov.uk to ensure you are seen.
Furthermore, The OISC encourage everyone to report any threats to the police, including any suspicious activity using 101 or the online report system. Please dial 999 in an emergency. “We would advise that you consider how best to reduce any risk to your staff and business. Please also consider if there is any way to further minimise your online presence, potentially by temporarily removing specific contact/personal details.”
“Please note, if as a result of protecting yourself and your staff you cannot undertake your usual duties during this time you will not be penalised. As a regulator, we understand that this is an exceptional circumstance, and your safety must be prioritised.”
Please email info@oisc.gov.uk for further information and keep each other safe.
