Under 'Operation Equalize', the Home Office’s Immigration Enforcement teams launched a nationwide intensification week of activity targeting illegal working hotspots.

Under the arrangement, Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats will gain access to data to help identify and suspend delivery riders found to be sharing accounts with migrants who have no legal right to work in the country.

The new initiative involves a surge in enforcement activity, including raids and compliance visits across key areas identified as hotspots for illegal working.
