Asylum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum caseworkers have (1) left and (2) joined her Department since July 2024.
Answered by Alex Norris
The number of full time equivalent (FTE) asylum caseworkers employed at the Home Office per month until September 2025 is published in the ASY_05(M) tab of the published migration transparency statistics, located here: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK (Immigration and Protection data; July to September 2025)
At the end of July 2024, there were 2,455 FTE asylum caseworkers.
The latest published data shows that at the end of September 2025, there were 2,113 FTE asylum caseworkers. Attrition will have occurred since that time.
