  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations bring into force guidance specifying matters to be taken into account in determining whether a person would be particularly vulnerable to harm if that person were to be detained or to remain in detention and, if so, whether that person should be detained or remain in detention.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.\nThe guidance on adults at risk in immigration detention will be published by the Stationery Office and copies may be obtained from the Stationery Office bookshops or online shop. The guidance will also be available on the adults at risk in immigration detention pages of the gov.uk website.",
