uin	HL2223
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2020 answer text <p>In 2019 the Ministry of Justice conducted a review into the care and management of individuals who are transgender, and this led to the publication of a revised Policy Framework which strengthens the risk and safeguarding process. This was fully implemented on 31st October 2019 across all men’s and women’s prisons.</p><p> </p><p>The Policy Framework provides staff with clear direction in the care and management of transgender individuals, including managing potential risks both to and presented by transgender individuals. Part of this process ensures that a complex case board must be held for an individual to transfer between the male and female estates. This decision is made by taking into account a wide range of individual factors such as risk, offending history and an individual’s personal circumstances, medical history and what stage they are at in their transgender status. The Policy Framework also enables risk to be managed when an individual is placed into a prison which is different to that of their legal gender. The policy can be found on the following link:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-care-and-management-of-individuals-who-are-transgender.</p><p> </p><p>The safety of all prisoners is of paramount concern and it is our priority and commitment to ensuring that those under our care and management are treated fairly, lawfully and decently, with their rights properly respected.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 13/03/2020 14:01:35 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
