10. Health care

I will receive health care so that I can stay fit and healthy.

A health team will care for your mental and physical health while you’re in custody.

If you need specialist support for additional needs (for example, if you have a neurodivergent condition like autism or ADHD), this will be arranged for you.

You will be asked about any medication you take. You will be offered any immunisations and vaccinations that you have missed and help with dental, hearing and eye care.

Smoking and vaping are not allowed while you’re in custody. You can get support to stop smoking.

You’re not allowed to have any alcohol while you’re in custody. You can get support to stop drinking alcohol.

Keeping you safe is everyone’s priority. If there are concerns about your safety or mental health, it might mean you are moved to stay somewhere different or have someone watching you closely.
