Home Office safeguard policies ‘ineffective,’ according to report
HOME OFFICE policies intended to identify and release vulnerable people, including torture survivors, from immigration detention centres are “so ineffective, they are basically fictional,” according to a new report.
Safeguards exist to prevent the detention of vulnerable adults who would be at risk of harm if locked up, except in certain circumstances.
However, a report by the Medical Justice charity, published this week, finds the Home Office’s safeguarding mechanism to be “utterly and totally flawed.”
