2018 Definition of vulnerability Vulnerable applies to any persons who, because of a mental health condition or mental disorder: • May have difficulty understanding or communicating effectively about the full implications for them of any procedures and process connected with: • Their arrest and detention; or (as the case may be) • Their voluntary attendance at a police station or their presence elsewhere for the purposes of voluntary interview and • The exercise of their rights and entitlements • Does not appear to understand the significance of what they are told, questions they are asked or their replies.
2018 Definition of vulnerability • Appears to be prone to: • Becoming confused and unclear about their position • Providing unreliable misleading or incriminating information without knowing or wishing to do so • Accepting or acting on suggestions from others without consciously knowing or wishing to do so; or • Readily agreeing to suggestions or proposals without any protest or question.
Children in custody Child Centred Policing Plan 2018 Objective: We will ensure that the attendance of juveniles in custody is necessary and proportionate. We will consider all alternative interventions and disposals and use custody only for the most serious of offences and offenders. Where circumstances dictate that this is the correct response we will provide a safe environment for them to be detained and interviewed in and this will be conducted expeditiously with an emphasis on their welfare and wellbeing throughout.
Children in custody Comparison between 2016 / 2017 / 2018
Female offender strategy – Ministry of Justice • Female offenders can be amongst the most vulnerable people in society and these vulnerabilities can often contribute to their offending behaviours • Many experience chaotic lifestyles involving substance misuse, mental health problems, homelessness, and offending behaviour – these are often the product of a life of abuse and trauma • Diverting offenders from the CJS, where it is appropriate to do so, and addressing their needs to prevent reoffending, by: • Optimising liaison and diversion schemes • Supporting the police to work with vulnerable women • Improving use of out of court disposals • Promoting retail-based diversion.
