Responding to allegations of sexual contact between guards and a former inmate, the Home Office said any claims of misconduct would be "thoroughly investigated".
They take the welfare of detained asylum seekers "very seriously" and expect private security firms working on their behalf to "maintain the highest standards".
We take the welfare of our detainees very seriously. Detention and removal are essential parts of effective immigration controls, but it is vital that these are carried out with humanity and dignity, and we are committed to ensuring that this is the case.
We expect contractors to maintain the highest standards. Any allegations of misconduct are thoroughly investigated and, if necessary, they will be reported to the appropriate authorities, including the police.
