Written question asked by Lord Patten (Conservative) on Wednesday, 11 February 2015, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 25 February 2015. It was answered by Lord Faulks (Conservative) on Wednesday, 25 February 2015 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Prisoners: Suicide
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Faulks on 26 January (HL4088), whether every prisoner identified as at risk of suicide or self-harm is automatically under the care planning system of the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork process.
- Answer
-
All Prisons must have procedures in place to identify, manage and support prisoners who are at risk of suicide or self-harm harm and to reduce that risk.
National policy requires that any prisoner identified as at risk of suicide or self-harm must be managed and supported using the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) process. ACCT is a multi-disciplinary process, and each prisoner subject to it is managed by a team composed of a range of staff drawn from the prison and other organisations, such as healthcare and education providers.
