In England and Wales, @projectICVA @ICVACEO worked on establishment a care plan for women experiencing previously overlooked symptoms of menopause in police custody icva.org.uk/menopause-in-p… #IWD2024 #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2024

We are proud to have worked with Sussex ICVS Manager to bring this change to fruition both on #InternationalWomensDay and every day to ensure the effective, dignified and individualised treatment of women in police custody across the UK.

Pleased to see perimenopause, menopause, & post-menopause symptoms recognised as a potential factor in PACE vulnerability (meaning #appropriateadult support could be applicable). ICVACEO has done a huge amount on menopause in police custody. fenlandcitizen.co.uk/news/menopause…

It is great to see the work we have done with Sussex ICVS Manager leading being put in place across the UK. We are now working with the UK NPM to share the resources produced to other monitors of detention.

#VolunteersWeek

We were so happy to welcome over 100 Independent Custody Visitors to our online #VolunteersWeek event last night, with speakers from HMICFRS and the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) sharing their thanks and thoughts on all things custody with the brilliant volunteers! @projectICVA

From being first on the scene to tackle crime to fraud prevention and youth engagement – Sussex Police and partner volunteers make a huge difference. #SaferInSussex #VolunteersWeek

Sam H. Gluckstein CPT @bsbuckland Sussex ICVS Manager "We are not there to check up on custody staff, we are there to ensure the welfare of detainees" explains Neil Hart, outlining how the observations of @projectICVA and Sussex ICVS Manager have tangibly improved conditions in police custody. A recent example: icva.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Delighted to have been a part of a prestigious UK NPM #Prevention toolkit launch for detention and custody inspectors and independent monitors👏 #LeadingTheWay

Proud to support the recommendations in Dame Vera Baird’s report. Our work to reduce the use of anti-rip clothing started in 2019 and we welcome the additional calls for our recommendations to be implemented icva.org.uk/wp-content/upl… #BairdInquiry #IndependentScrutiny

Extremely disappointed about the lack of effective menstrual care for detainees highlighted in the #BairdInquiry after work undertaken by ICVA in 2019 meaning menstrual care arrangements were enshrined in PACE. I urge all forces to review their compliance. icva.org.uk/icva-press-rel…

Honoured to be following on from such esteemed previous Chairs of the UK NPM Please see below.

Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers working across policing for all that you do #InternationalVolunteerDay 🌟 Sussex has over 45 Independent Custody Visitors who work voluntarily to check on the welfare of detainees in custody. More here: sussex-pcc.gov.uk/get-involved/i…
