The Home Office faces a fresh High Court challenge tomorrow over claims it has denied in-person legal advice to vulnerable women at its new detention centre in County Durham
.as the main single-sex facility which has capacity for 84 women and is run by the private contractor Mitie. It’s understood that 40 women are currently being held there.
Hidden by trees, Derwentside Immigration and Removal Centre in Consett, County Durham, replaced Yarl’s Wood as a single-sex detention centre , a charity that supports and empowers refugee and asylum seeking women in the UK, said it has spoken to detainees at Derwentside who crossed the Channel to reach the UK and many are “extremely worried” about being targeted by the Home Office for removal to Rwanda.
A woman, known only as Jane, has launched a joint legal challenge with WRW after claiming she struggled to access legal advice while detained at Derwentside. Women are held at Derwentside until the outcome of their case – either removal or temporary admission into the UK – is decided by the Home Office
“I tried really hard to speak to a solicitor but each time I got an appointment they didn’t call. All I could do was sit and wait next to my phone. Eventually someone called but they spoke to me for less than 10 minutes. I couldn’t tell them what I’d been through in that time – and the advice they gave me was wrong.
