# What can visitors do? * Direct people you are visiting in detention to where they can find guidance and instructions relevant to their general treatment in detention/prison and their entitlements. You can print and provide hard copies of guidance documents for the person you visit if they wish. * Take some time to familiarise yourself with Home Office and Prison Service guidance for staff and contractors as background reading. This will enable you to better discern situations where the person you visit is not being treated the way that you think they should be and raise your concerns with your group or with AVID. * AVID and our members are regularly consulted on Detention Service Orders (DSOs) when they are being updated by the Home Office. Visitors can support by responding to calls for input, identifying recurring issues, trends and recommendations. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
