<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Men and women only mix at two immigration removal centres
(IRC); Yarl's Wood family accommodation and Dungavel IRC. Transsexual people may be
held in any IRC. <br><br>Transsexual people in detention are managed in accordance
with Detention Services Order 11/2012. This order requires centres to produce a management
care plan outlining how the detainee will be managed safely and decently within the
detention environment and to put in place measures to manage the risk of transphobic
harassment and transphobic hate crime. <br><br>An assessment of the incidence of physical,
sexual and emotional abuse experienced by transgender individuals placed in IRCs is
not possible as the information is not centrally recorded and can only be provided
at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
