Behind the frontline

Our Work  —  Behind the frontline, Protecting people from violence and abuse, Victims and resolutions

In January 2014, the Home Secretary commissioned HMIC to carry out an inspection on the welfare of vulnerable people in police custody. This work included, but was not limited to, people with mental health problems, people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, and children. Our inspection highlighted good practice, identified areas for improvement and made national recommendations.
