We’ve just published our Home Office 2030 Digital Strategy, which explains how we will use digital, data and technology over the next 5 years to keep delivering on our mission to keep citizens safe and the country secure.
When we introduced the Home Office 2024 DDaT Strategy 4 years ago, we laid out our intention to become a department of government that embraced a digital by design approach to everything we delivered.
We’ve lived up to our promises; a UK passport holder can renew a passport within 48 hours, from filling out the form to dispatch, and the UK’s airport eGates see 76 million digitally-assisted crossings every year. That’s more than any other country in the world.
Why publish a new digital strategy?
Technology never stops moving, and we never stop thinking about how we can use it do the very best work we can for the people of the United Kingdom.
Growing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are playing an ever-larger role in the global digital conversation, while key concepts such as sustainability and data-driven decision-making continue to evolve. Even fundamental approaches, like building agile and resilient systems and services, or making our technology easy to maintain to keep costs down, need restating and refreshing to make sure we are all working together in the most effective ways.
We have published our strategy on GOV.UK to allow us to keep having an open conversation about our plan for change.
8 strategic shifts in digital, data and technology
We’ll continue meeting the challenges of improving the Home Office’s service delivery and operations to keep the country safe, secure and economically prosperous.
To do this, we’ll empower our people to use technology by following 8 strategic shifts. They are:
- Transform our digital services with AI and more automation
- Invest in systems and platforms we can maintain and continually improve
- Build for greater organisational agility and resilience
- Secure our technology to tackle growing cyber security threats
- Improve how we capture and share data across the Home Office and wider government
- Evolve our digital operating model to deliver Home Office outcomes
- Reduce the cost of delivering and operating our digital services
- Boost our digital skills to help us use technology in new and creative ways
