uin	212598
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text <p>Violence of any kind in prison is not tolerated and all assaults are treated extremely seriously. The reason behind a violent incident is not routinely recorded and therefore we do not have an estimate of the number of violent incidents that might be attributable to the use of legal highs. The National Offender Management Service is taking appropriate steps to tackle violence and after conducting a comprehensive review will be issuing further guidance early next year. Work is also underway with the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to ensure that violent crimes are investigated and prosecuted.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 04/11/2014 17:37:05 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

uin	212304
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2014 answer text <p /> <p>No fines have been paid to the EU or any other organisation because of HM Prison Service’s use of barbed and razor wire in the last four years. Furthermore, there have been no infraction proceedings at the European Court of Justice and no findings against the UK in the European Court of Human Rights about this issue in that time period.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) provides razor wire and barbed wire as part of construction and refurbishment projects on its custodial estate. It is deployed most often at the top of perimeter fences and fences which form partitions within the grounds of prisons. It forms one of a number of security measures which prevent prisoners scaling fences either to breach the perimeter or to enter hazardous and prohibited areas of a prison</p><p> </p><p>The MoJ works with the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) to ensure that its proposed use would not present a health or safety hazard to prisoners, members of NOMS staff, visitors to a prison or members of the public.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 03/11/2014 14:48:34 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

tabling member constituency	Barnsley Central

uin	211170
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2014 answer text <p>All prisons are required to have procedures to identify, manage and support people who are at risk of harm to themselves. A health assessment is undertaken for all prisoners on reception into custody to assess their risk of suicide or self-harm. The prisoner’s Person Escort Record form, which is available to staff on reception, may provide information about concerns of self-harm. When a prisoner is identified as being at-risk of self-harm, they are managed through the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) process, which is a prisoner-centred, flexible care planning system.</p><p> </p><p>All relevant risk information is recorded on the Prison NOMIS case management system and on healthcare IT systems where appropriate. All staff working directly with prisoners have access to NOMIS and the relevant risk information.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 23/10/2014 10:34:18 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
