Debate
Immigration (Guidance on Detention of Vulnerable Persons) Regulations 2024Contribution
People who are at risk at home and at risk in the UK when they are in detention are very often from the LGBTQI+ community. I refer to the prejudiced attitudes of some staff—I emphasise some—although they are not specifically mentioned in the guidance. It has been questioned whether this failure to mention that group of people is in accordance with the equality impact assessment.
