Independent Custody Visitors provide valuable support via their reports to the Home Office, police and police authorities in the identification of best practice for the environment and welfare of people in police custody.
Their key role is to monitor the welfare of people detained in police custody and to report their findings on custody conditions. If you would like to find out more about becoming an independent custody visitor please contact Cleveland Police Authority on 01642 301467 or visit www.icva.org.uk.
