Recommendation 53: Timing of first review of assessment

The first review of the initial assessment should take place within one week of the initial assessment, and should take place in every case. It should be a multi-disciplinary review, with representatives from the prisoner’s wing, healthcare and the team responsible for implementing the establishment’s violence reduction strategy all contributing to it. The documents set out in paragraph 59.15 should be considered, and the participants should have been briefed on the contents of the prisoner’s security file if there is one.
