ICVA’s Influence
The Government has published a policy

ICVA was involved in the consultation
exercise for this new system, which will allow us to

for the provision of places of detention within England
& Wales.
Copies of the report have been placed
in the Libraries of the House and full details will
be revealed in the New Year edition of Visiting Times.
