<p>The first Community Engagement Pilot, Action Access, provided women who would otherwise
be detained with a programme of support in the community. This pilot concluded on
31 March 2021. The independent evaluation of Action Access was published on 24 January
2022.</p><p>The second pilot, the Refugee and Migrant Advisory Service, supported
both men and women in the community and remained in operation for two years until
June 2022. The independent evaluation of the Refugee and Migrant Advisory Service
is expected early in the new year. We will use the UNHCR evaluations of these pilots
to inform our future approach to case-management focused alternatives to detention.</p><p>Since
2018, information on deaths in immigration detention has been included in published
immigration statistics on an annual basis. Data on the number of deaths of people
detained under immigration powers in each year from 2017, are published in section
8 ‘detention and returns’, table Det_05b and b of the detention summary tables, found
at the following link:<a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F1098047%2Fdetention-summary-jun-2022-tables.ods&data=05%7C01%7CFrances.Hardy%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C00847202cdcc4f9608d108dad6a7c1be%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638058313235955234%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FZYGqdkY%2BrfMBShjNopLQbQo%2FjYQBO5aRR74nN6jQm0%3D&reserved=0"

incidents in the immigration removal estate are managed, where appropriate, through
a command structure. The published guidance Detention Services Order 05/2015 ‘Reporting
and Communicating Incidents in the Immigration Removal Estate’ defines the category
of incidents (red, amber, green) and provides instruction and guidance for staff on
reporting and communicating incidents. Red (critical) incidents relate to the management
of an event outside of usual centre business that has, or potentially will have a
serious impact on the operation of a facility or the safety and security of staff,
detained people or the wider public.</p><p>The table below sets out the operational
