<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>
