Appropriate Adults: Standards

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when her Department next plans to review the National Standards for the Development and Provision of Appropriate Adult Schemes in England and Wales.

Answer

The Home Office part funds the National Association of Appropriate Adults (NAAN), which supports organisations providing appropriate adult services to young people and vulnerable adults in police custody. We regularly engage with the NAAN to discuss the provision of training to Appropriate Adults across England and Wales.

The national standards are developed and published by NAAN. More information regarding standards and training can be found at https://www.appropriateadult.org.uk/. The standards are approved by the Youth Justice Board, Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners. They were developed in consultation with the Home Office.
