The International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) has developed a new policy which sets out the procedures to be followed by its staff and by centre managers when notified of the death of a person who is resident in IPAS accommodation.
The policy has been in operation since June 2021. This policy is intended to balance the need for openness and transparency in all State organisations in the provision of information to the public, with the expectation of privacy and consideration of the sensitive nature surrounding the death of any individual for their family and friends. In the case of International Protection applicants, regard must also be had for the legal obligation to protect the anonymity of International Protection applicants during the protection process. The new policy is available in the attached link.
