What does a visitor do?
What is expected of a visitor?
The role of a visitor is befriending and offering support to an immigration detainee. A visitor visits one man, usually once a week, and completes a visitor monitoring form once a month to keep coordinators abreast of their progress.
Visitors may choose to involve themselves in facilitating communication between the detainee and other groups or individuals outside, including solicitors or legal representatives, or other support mechanisms. They may also involve themselves in providing practical assistance to the detainee such as sourcing belongings or purchasing small items however this is entirely at the visitors discretion.
Support on boundaries is available from the coordinators by telephone on 023 9283 9222, the extent to which visitors wish to be involved in provision of services other than befriending varies between volunteers.
