Our corporate and business plans
We judge our performance against the standards in our Corporate and Business Plans which are reviewed and published every year. The way we manage our relationship with the Home Office and our corporate governance is described in the Framework Agreement.
Over the coming years, IPS will implement a programme of initiatives which will provide new standards in assuring the identity of individuals. These will enhance the validity and security of passports and underpin the launch of ID cards.
By establishing the National Identity Service, identity verification will be simplified across the public and private sectors, benefiting the UK economy and enabling ID cards to play a valuable role in day-to-day life in the UK.
The need for the National Identity Service is driven by today's society where proving identity is fundamental to accessing the benefits and services available to our citizens and lawful residents. A robust, safe and convenient method of proving identity is crucial in an environment where identity fraud, organised crime and terrorism are constant threats.
