Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Immigration Asylum and Nationality Bill 2005-06.


Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

We have to make a differentiation here. On training in relation to children, we want to make sure that those who will deal with such children or people in a vulnerable situation are properly trained in issues like human rights, racial awareness, dealing with vulnerable people in traumatic circumstances, and of course all the issues around children. That is quite different from the kind of skills needed by immigration service officers as a part of their professional training. While they will have the skills I have outlined, they will have other skills as well. I want to differentiate between those carrying out reasonably mundane and regular tasks, but who need to be professional in how they deal with people when they come across them, and those undertaking far more detailed and challenging tasks in order to ascertain where people are and so forth.
