In Campsfield House, Brook House, Colnbrook, Dover, Dungavel, Harmondsworth, Haslar, Morton Hall, Tinsley House, Yarl's Wood IRCs, any Short Term Hold Centres and Cedars pre-departure accommodation.
The data requested on self-harm in removal centres, Short-Term Holding Facilities (STHFs) and Cedars pre-departure accommodation is detailed in the tables below; it is based on management information only and has not been subject to the detailed checks that apply for National Statistics publications. These figures are provisional and are subject to change.
There has been one death at Harmondsworth IRC in October 2012. The death will be the subject of a Coroner's Inquest and it would be inappropriate to comment on the details in advance of the Coroner's conclusions.
