(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations bring into force revised guidance specifying matters to be taken into account in determining whether a person would be particularly vulnerable to harm if that person were to be detained or to remain in detention and, if so, whether that person should be detained or remain in detention.
The revised guidance replaces the guidance entitled "Immigration Act 2016: Guidance on adults at risk in immigration detention" which was brought into force on 12th September 2016 by the Immigration (Guidance on Detention of Vulnerable Persons) Regulations 2016.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
The revised guidance on adults at risk in immigration detention will be published by the Stationary Office and copies may be obtained from the Stationary Office bookshops or online shop. The guidance will also be available on the adults at risk in immigration detention pages of the gov.uk website.
