New Care Standards for Individuals in Border Protection Custody
This act introduces mandatory health screenings, access to water, food, hygiene, and adequate shelter conditions for individuals detained by border services. Its aim is to ensure basic humanitarian standards and improve the safety and health of detainees, including children and vulnerable individuals.
Key points
Mandatory health screenings and medical care for all detainees, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly, within 12 hours of detention (or 6 hours for high-priority individuals).
Ensuring access to adequate drinking water, clean toilets, personal hygiene products, and bathing facilities.
Guaranteeing three meals a day with appropriate caloric intake and consideration for dietary needs.
Requirement for separate detention of males and females, and children from adults (unless with a guardian), and provision of safe conditions for individuals with disabilities.
Introduction of video surveillance in facilities, regular inspections, and staff training to prevent abuse and ensure compliance with new standards.
