@policeconduct @nottspolice These officers displayed utmost professionalism in such tragic circumstances. They did all they possibly could and struggle to this day to come to terms with it. So sad for all involved.

Our investigation found that @nottspolice officers did all they could to save Cain Hargreaves who sadly died following his arrest at Carlton https://t.co/oWdnpcXHPN

Totally agree. Simple but effective #Custody18

[National Appropriate Adult Network (NAAN) @AA_NAAN]

Looking forward to today's @PolfedCustody @PFEW_HQ custody event. Focus on #mentalhealth, deaths and near misses in custody. Important for NAAN to work closely with custody officers, who are key to ensuring changes to vulnerability under PACE have positive impact in real world.

Chief Inspector Michael Brown @MentalHealthCop, #mentalhealth coordinator for @PoliceChiefs, highlights fact that "despite it being a great idea, nobody is legally responsible for providing #appropriateadults" for adults. @PFEW_HQ #Custody18

Fantastic presentation from Peter McCabe of @HeadwayUK highlighting the benefit of the Brain Inj ID Card but was very clear to stress it was not a ‘get out of jail free card’. #Custody18

A better understanding of the dangers of Acute Behavioural Disturbance (ABD) in #custody detainees is needed amongst healthcare staff, a top doctor has said. https://t.co/0FCG19cKIe #Custody18

[Holly Damen @DamenHolly]

Very inspiring listening to how a voluntary org @HeadwayUK have developed brain injury identity cards to support their patrons. An excellent method of assessing detainee vulnerabilities when entering custody suites. #custody18 @PFEW_HQ

[Custodial Review @CustodialReview]

Custodial staff need to be more aware of brain injury and Headway‘s ID card is helping to communicate survivors’ needs, says Peter McCabe. #custody18 @headwayuk https://t.co/ZfhqZFtCIE @PFEW_HQ #braininjury

.@HeadwayUK's brain injury survivor ID cards have helped improve confidence and enabled people suffering from a brain injury to have more independence - educating people on behaviours and symptoms that are often misunderstood #Custody18

[Police Federation of England and Wales @PFEW_HQ]

Survivors of a brain injury are particularly vulnerable in criminal justice system - @HeadwayUK have introduced a Brain Injury ID Card to help survivors describe how their injury is affecting them - clinically verified #Custody18

[Police Federation of England and Wales @PFEW_HQ]

.@HeadwayUK tells Dominic's story who was arrested several times - underlying issue was the effects of a brain injury. Peter McCabe talks of the physical, behavioural, emotional and cognitive problems as a result of brain injury - difficulty with reasoning, judgement #Custody18

[Police Federation of England and Wales @PFEW_HQ]

A high proportion of the prison population have sustained a brain injury at some point in their lives - @HeadwayUK #Custody18

[Police Federation of England and Wales @PFEW_HQ]

Peter McCabe talks of people who have benefited from ⁦@HeadwayUK⁩ services - been providing support to people with brain injuries and their families for forty years #Custody18
