Report of the Town clerk.

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk that provided Members with an update on the progress of the City of London’s Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) Scheme.

The Town Clerk highlighted an issue relating to the production of ICV access passes in that they were not being produced quickly enough and were experiencing technical issues.  The production process was now being scrutinised to resolve these issues.

Members sought assurances that those issues and concerns arising from visits highlighted in the report were being dealt with in a timely fashion and stressed the importance of ensuring those of critical need were prioritised effectively, with an appropriate escalation procedure in place. The Commissioner gave assurance that all issues raised by the ICVs regarding the custody suite are overseen and prioritised by the CoLP Director of Estates and Support Services.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
