question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps have been taken to reduce the transmission of covid-19 in immigrant removal centres.
tabling member constituency	Hampstead and Kilburn

uin	119317
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2020 answer text <p>Immigration Enforcement responded quickly to the risks presented at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and continues to follow the latest guidance from Public Health England (PHE). This has been supported by the High Court, which ruled on 26 March that our approach to detention and Covid-19 was sensible, with the appropriate precautionary measures in place. The safety of detained individuals and our staff are our utmost priority.</p><p> </p><p>All immigration removal centres (IRCs) have dedicated health facilities run by doctors and nurses which are managed by the NHS or appropriate providers. Detained individuals arriving at IRCs are medically assessed by a nurse within two hours of their arrival, are offered an appointment with a doctor within 24 hours and have access to medical assistance throughout their detention. Additionally receptions to Heathrow, Gatwick and Yarl’s Wood are offered a Covid-19 test on arrival at the IRC.</p><p> </p><p>Everyone entering an IRC spends a minimum of 14 days on a ‘reverse cohorting’ unit; this is dedicated accommodation designed to prevent an asymptomatic individual transmitting the virus to the wider centre population. Reverse cohorting is supported by further measures such as single occupancy rooms in all IRCs and the cessation of social visits. Protective shielding is available to those who are deemed medically high or very high risk.</p><p> </p><p>Since Wednesday 21 October 2020, all staff and visitors to IRCs and short term holding facilities are required to wear a face mask, at all times, when undertaking direct contact duties with those detained and when in the main centre or holding facility.</p><p> </p><p>The mental health of detained individuals is equally important to physical health; IRC residents are being encouraged to utilise virtual means of social contact including mobile telephone (for which additional phone credit is being provided on a weekly basis), video calling and email. Risk-assessed activities are available in all centres to support mental well-being.</p><p> </p><p>We are confident that these collective measures have contributed to minimising the impact of Covid-19 on our estate and keeping those in detention and the staff who work there safe.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 30/11/2020 15:09:20 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that people who are being considered for deportation have access to (a) sufficient legal support and (b) contact with family members.
tabling member constituency	Hampstead and Kilburn

uin	119318
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2020 answer text <p>Those being deported will have been provided with the opportunity to raise claims, prior to their deportation. The UK only ever returns those who the Home Office and, where applicable, the courts are satisfied do not need our protection and have no legal basis to remain in the UK. Any new legal representations made whilst an individual is detained are considered carefully and in accordance with the law.</p><p>Detained individuals are advised of their right to legal representation, and how they can obtain such representation, within 24 hours of their arrival at an Immigration Removal Centre (IRC).</p><p>The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) operates free legal advice surgeries in IRCs in England. Individuals who are detained are entitled to receive up to 30 minutes of advice regardless of financial eligibility or the merits of their case. There is no restriction on the number of surgeries an individual may attend. If an individual who is detained requires substantive advice on a matter which is in scope of legal aid, full legal advice can be provided if the statutory legal aid means and merits criteria are met. Following a change of operations in line with Government advice on social distancing, the LAA Detained Duty Advice scheme is currently operating by phone. Detained individuals who wish to access this service are asked to advise centre staff, who will notify the duty solicitor under the scheme. The duty solicitor will contact the individual directly.</p><p>All individuals in immigration removal centres are provided with a mobile phone and have access to landline telephones, fax machines, email and video calling facilities which can be used to contact legal advisers. Social visits to IRCs and Short-Term Holding Facilities have been paused in light with the latest Government restrictions. Detained individuals are being encouraged to utilise virtual means of social contact including video calling, email and mobile telephone; additional weekly mobile phone credit is being provided to support continued social contact in these unprecedented times.</p><p>In exceptional circumstances, and for individuals facing imminent removal from the UK face to face legal and social visits can occur where other means of contact (video calling, telephone, email) are not feasible.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 30/11/2020 15:12:58 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
