Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will (a) undertake a review of safety at the Sunderland assessment centre managed by the Centre for Health and Disability Assessments and (b) require the installation of CCTV recording equipment in that centre for the protection and security of staff and claimants.

A review of health and safety was carried out at Sunderland Assessment Centre on 18 October 2018. Reviews are undertaken regularly and the review considers risk and the appropriate measures to mitigate any risk.

I can confirm that there is CCTV on the front door which covers the street entrance into the building.
