answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2018 answer text <p>All staff in contact with prisoners are required to receive training on suicide and self-harm prevention.</p><p> </p><p>The Introduction to Safer Custody course was replaced by the Introduction to Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention course, known as SASH, in May 2017. Like its predecessor courses, the SASH prevention course is being delivered to all new prison officers as part of their entry level training, to all new staff in other prisoner-facing roles, and to existing prison staff as part of their ongoing refresher training as required.</p><p> </p><p>The course aims to ensure that the case management support process for prisoners at risk of self-harm or suicide (known as ‘Assessment Care in Custody and Teamwork’ or ACCT) is carried out effectively in prisons, to provide a safe and decent environment for all. It comprises six modules, including mental health awareness training.</p><p> </p><p>Since the roll out of the revised SASH prevention course in April 2017, HMPPS has been monitoring its progress and collecting internal management information on the number of new and existing staff completing all or some of the modules.</p><p> </p><p>For the period April 2017 - January 2018, more than 14,300 new and existing HMPPS and non-HMPPS staff have been trained in at least one of the six modules, and over 6,800 new and existing staff have completed the training in full.</p><p> </p><p>This training is being delivered to all eligible staff. These figures therefore include all existing staff directly employed by HMPPS, and those employed by partner agencies and other service providers with prisoner-facing roles.</p><p> </p><p>Figures for the completion of the previous version of the training were not collected centrally; because of this, I am unable to give totals for all forms of safer custody training.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 01/03/2018 17:33:29 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
