How we help detainees
Every detainee held at the Dover IRC can call us on 0800 9179397 or 01304 242755 or 07540723238 and ask for our support. All detainees who make contact with us will be sent a phone card every month.
We can provide detainees with individual attention by allocating them a visitor who will meet them once a week. Our visitors act as a point of contact for the individual detainees and can help them by chasing up solicitors, providing clothes and getting hold of information on behalf of the detainee. Ways of supporting detainees will differ depending on their individual needs.
DDVG can also refer detainees to other organisations such as Medical Justice Network and Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID). We can also assist detainees in completing Section 4 applications which will provide them with an address when applying for bail.
We can also help once they are released (Read more)
