Information Sharing
We are often asked about information sharing protocols, our recommendation is that there are normally sufficient protocols already in place between organisations to enable the sharing of information. The issues that arise with information sharing are normally because the person asking and the person responding are not fully aware of exisiting protocols. At times like this we refer people to the Safe and Secure flowchart, produced by the Department of Health with agreement from criminal justice organisations. This flowchart can be found here.
Learning from Incidents
We have brought together lessons learnt from incidents occuring since 2008 to 2010 in prisons, into an audit tool that anyone can use to assure themselves that their systems and process would prevent the same issues occuring in their prison. Click here for the audit tool.
