<p> </p><p>The Home Office and its service providers comply with all relevant employment
<br>legislation. The service provider for Yarl's Wood immigration removal centre,
<br>Serco, is required under their contract to employ sufficient female officers to
<br>enable appropriate searching and security arrangements for female detainees. <br>Yarl's
Wood IRC has 52% male detainee custody officers and 48% female. <br><br>Assessment
Care in Detention and Teamwork (ACDT) is the system used for <br>monitoring individuals
considered to be at risk of self harm and operates <br>within the broader context
of decency, safety, and the concept of a healthy <br>centre. <br><br>ACDT requires
centre managers to appoint trained assessors and named case <br>managers in order
to provide individualised care to detainees based on their <br>particular needs. A
female assessor or case manager should be appointed where <br>it is appropriate but
that is not a requirement. <br><br>Feminine hygiene items are freely available to
residents. Access to these is <br>not monitored by staff.</p><p> </p>
