"We were surprised to find that there appears to be no specific guidance setting out the circumstances in which the use of the baton against the head might be justifiable.... we remain concerned about kettling and the use of batons: clearer operational guidance is needed on both of these if the police are to meet their commitment to human rights successfully.”
