National Offender Management Service
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he plans to publish the National Offender Management Service review of Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork.
- Answer
-
The ACCT case management system for prisoners at risk at self-harm or suicide has been formally reviewed twice since it was introduced into prisons across England and Wales from 2004-2007. The most recent review concluded in 2015, and as this was an internal review the results were not published. The 2015 review found that ACCT was an effective system, but identified opportunities to increase the level of compliance with the policy in prisons and to improve the quality of care delivered to prisoners. This has informed a number of the measures that we have since taken to improve the system, including the introduction of improved training and the publication of further guidance for staff.
We will shortly be consulting stakeholders on proposals for improvements to the ACCT form and associated policy that are based on the outcome of the 2015 review as well as more recent feedback on the operation of the system.
