	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2019 answer text <p>Suicide prevention is the responsibility of all staff in prisons who have contact with prisoners.

All staff with prisoner contact are trained in suicide and self-harm prevention, and we have delivered improved training to nearly 25,000 staff since April 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) case management process for prisoners identified as being at risk includes specialist roles for assessors and case managers, and we provide additional training for staff taking on these roles. ACCT relies for its effectiveness on multi-disciplinary working, and contributions from a range of specialist staff, from prison chaplains and psychologists to mental health nurses working for healthcare providers, who bring their specific training and skills to the review teams responsible for managing each individual who is at risk.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 30/04/2019 15:59:33 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
