The Home Office is continuing its work against illegal working through Operation Magnify, a UK-wide enforcement and compliance campaign to prevent illegal working in various sectors of the UK economy including in the construction sector.
Although many construction businesses complete the right to work checks, we know that stolen and counterfeit documents are used, sometimes by criminal gangs, to enable migrants to work illegally in the UK.
If stolen and counterfeit documents are not spotted, businesses can also inadvertently allow immigration offenders through security vetting checks. This may result in granting illegal workers access to critical national infrastructure projects.
