Recommendation 29: Content of NOMIS staff training
From Report of the Zahid Mubarek inquiry (Volumes I and II), published 29 June 2006.
Recommendation
The training which staff receive on NOMIS should not merely address how to log on, enter information and retrieve it. It should reinforce the need for any information which is to be entered to be accurate, comprehensive and unambiguous. It should also reinforce the need for all staff to be aware of the background and offending history of the prisoners in their charge, as well as their previous behaviour in prison. Staff should learn that the system will be useless if they do not use it properly.
