apologised today after fears for the safety of women being held there.

:00:16.:00:19.

In an exclusive interview for the BBC a mental health nurse

:00:20.:00:23.

who used to work at the centre describes how he repeatedly raised

:00:24.:00:26.

concerns about the treatment of women with psychological problems.

:00:27.:00:31.

The warning comes on the dax the Serco security group, which

:00:32.:00:34.

runs Yarl?s Wood, has been defending its handling of investigations

:00:35.:00:38.

What happened behind this pdrimeter fence has today been the subject

:00:39.:00:46.

Sexual allegations have been made and doubts raised about

:00:47.:00:53.

the way they were investigated by Serco.

:00:54.:00:56.

A former detainee at Yarl's Wood has spoken out, claiming gu`rds

:00:57.:01:00.

He came to my room and he touched me inapproprhately.

:01:01.:01:09.

But I later found out that he was actually sleeping around

:01:10.:01:18.

Noel worked at Yarl's Wood `s a mental health nurse two years ago.

:01:19.:01:25.

He says he repeatedly raised concerns about the assessment

of a patient of his with a history of self harm being assaulted.

:01:33.:01:41.

I was told that an individu`l has gone into her room and had

:01:42.:01:45.

The officer made it very cldar that there was an investigation

:01:46.:01:52.

Made it very clear that she had been assaulted

:01:53.:01:56.

You do not cross that line, it is quite simple.

:01:57.:02:03.

The private company that runs the centre came to Westminster

:02:04.:02:07.

today to answer some tough questions.

:02:08.:02:11.

Do you want to take this opportunity to apologise for those women who

:02:12.:02:15.

have had to make these allegations about the guards who work

:02:16.:02:18.

I would like to comment specifically on the report.

:02:19.:02:25.

Before I do that, your last point, we set very high standards

:02:26.:02:29.

On those instances where we have fallen short of

:02:30.:02:35.

the standards that we have set for ourselves, I absolutely am sorry

:02:36.:02:39.

Serco rejects there is an endemic culture of

:02:40.:02:44.

The committee said it wanted to hear the detainees' side

:02:45.:02:50.

of the story and plans to vhsit the centre in the near future.

:02:51.:02:54.

This at a time when the contract to run Yarl's Wood is up for rdnewal.

Let me just remind you, first of all, this was about five elderly

:03:24.:03:32.

rep, residents in Northampton. All five died within the space of two

:03:33.:03:37.

weeks in 2009. `` five elderly residents. At the time, it was ruled

:03:38.:03:43.

they had died from natural causes but an investigation was latnched

:03:44.:03:47.

and found they had suffered from severe neglect. The home was closed

:03:48.:03:51.

down later and the remaining residents were moved elsewhdre. By

:03:52.:03:56.

the summer of 2009, the homd simply could not manage. As a result, the

:03:57.:04:01.

Nursing and Midwifery Counchl struck off five minutes members of staff.

:04:02.:04:08.

So why has the investigation been relaunched? `` five members of

:04:09.:04:13.

staff. Because the owner and her deputy appeared before the council.

:04:14.:04:18.

They were accused of failing to carry out basic duties. The police

:04:19.:04:23.

have reviewed this tribunal and are now reopening the criminal

:04:24.:04:26.
