Many migrants and asylum seekers who are in the UK who are still going through the immigration system are put on what's called ""immigration bail. Individuals who are on bail must then be given at least one bail condition. While the Home Office has a wide array of power and different time of bail she can impose, reporting condition remains one of the most commonly given bail condition.

Recently, the Home Office has also started increasing the use of electronic tagging. Both forms of surveillance can have severely detrimental impact of individuals welfare. In this seminar we will review the concept of bail condition, in particular in relation to reporting condition and electronic tagging. We will discuss research that Migrants Organise and Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) have carried out on the impact of these conditions on individuals.

We will then provide practical tools on how you can support individuals with their bail condition (https://www.migrantsorganise.org/app/uploads/2023/01/Evaluation-of-Home-Office-Reporting-Condition-January-2020-.pdf https://hubble-live-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/biduk/file_asset/file/692/GPS_Tagging_Report_Final__1_.pdf).
