RECOMMENDATION 25 The Department and Serco should continue to explore other least restrictive measures for women who require separation where they pose a risk of harm to themselves or others. Placement in HCA should always be as a last resort and for the least amount of time necessary. RECOMMENDATION 26 Where placement in HCA is necessary, women should not be placed in HCA within any of the men’s compounds. The Department and Government should ensure the necessary infrastructure changes are made to allow for a space for single separation within the Miowera Village.
