Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what training is provided to Immigration Removal Centre medical staff in completing rule 35 reports for victims of trafficking in immigration detention; and whether those staff are made aware of the impact of rule 35 reports in National Referral Mechanism decision-making.

Training is provided to staff, including healthcare staff, in immigration removal centres (IRCs) following changes made to the adults at risk in immigration detention policy (AAR) in July 2018. Trafficking is one of the indicators of risk set out in the AAR. This training included training on Rule 35 of the Detention Centre Rules 2001.
