Are detainees/prisoners physically separated in any way during transit, and is there the possibility of any physical contact between them? • Are detainees/prisoners regularly restrained during transfer? Information from staff responsible for transporting detainees/prisoners • Have staff received any specific training on protecting detainees from abuse during transport? • Who makes the decision on which detainees/prisoners can be transported together?

Is there any physical contact? 8.9 Initial Medical Screening and Ongoing Healthcare (as a Risk Factor) When detainees/prisoners access healthcare services in places of deprivation of liberty, they may be at risk of SGBV.
