Decisions on whether or not to detain individuals have never been predicated on absolute exclusions for any particular group. There will always be occasions on which it will be appropriate to detain particular individuals.<\/p> Decisions to detain are made on a case-by-case basis through the striking of a balance between any vulnerabilities identified and the immigration factors of a case. Only where the immigration factors outweigh the level of risk identified under the adults at risk policy, will detention be maintained. For this reason, individuals will not necessarily be released from detention because they have been identified as an adult at risk. Individuals identified as an adult at risk may in any case be released from detention for other reasons, such as a casework barrier to their removal.<\/p>
