answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2023 answer text <p>HM Prison and Probation Service conducts certain risk assessments for all prisoners held on remand, such as a cell sharing risk assessment. Specific escape risk assessments are triggered where intelligence/information is received that suggests a prisoner poses a risk of potential escape.</p><p>There is a multi-agency, end-to-end case management process to manage the risk posed by terrorist offenders specifically.</p><p>Individuals charged with offences connected to terrorism are automatically considered for Category A conditions. When a prisoner is on remand for a terrorist offence, they will also have an initial assessment applied, which identifies the level at which the terrorist risk should be managed. The assessment will be repeated every six months for all prisoners on remand for terrorist offences. Subsequent assessments and interventions are deployed following sentencing.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 21/09/2023 13:00:29 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
