POLICE BOOKING FORM

COVID-19 NOTICE

Appropriate Adults are now available for Voluntary Attendance Interviews (VAI’s) carried out at Guildford & Staines Police Stations & Salfords VAI Suite. Healthcare Professionals should be accessed for VAI’s held at Guildford, Salfords & Staines to carry out the necessary COVID-19 checks.

Booking Process

Any booking form submitted after 16.00 hours will not be processed until the following working day (Monday – Friday) and therefore classed as a next day submission. A minimum of 72 hours NOTICE, Monday to Friday is necessary in order to ensure a trained Appropriate Adult can be engaged.

SAAVS members will only attend where a police officer is on hand to meet with them, to provide a briefing and to supervise the introduction to the interviewee.
