ICVA are effectively using their influence on a national platform to highlight significant and often hidden issues in Custody that many people feel uncomfortable talking about. Issues like the provision of sanitary protection for female detainees has been a concern for ICVs for some time and it’s great to now see this being discussed nationally on programmes like BBC Radio 4’s Women’s Hour thanks to ICVA.

I delivered the Mental Health, Children’s Concordat and Use of Force modules at a session last Thursday. I had comments from my ICVs that it was the best training that they had had in all their time as ICVs. The bitesize training such an amazing addition to the ‘package’ that we get as a part of our membership of ICVA. They worked really well as a series of training sessions all put together and I would encourage other schemes to think about delivering them as ‘collective’ training. For me it made sense rather than delivering the same training four times over at my panel meetings.
