The interests of other prisoners are considered in every decision about where to allocate transgender prisoners. As set out in the \u2018Care and management of individuals who are transgender\u2019 Policy Framework, any decision must include a rigorous assessment of any risk of harm which the transgender individual may present to others, as well as any risk to the transgender individual of self-harm and/or harm from others.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are reviewing this framework currently, and as part of this process have consulted with various groups to assess the effectiveness of its implementation.

HMPPS is committed to ensuring, where practicable, that prisoners are accommodated as close as possible to their resettlement communities and families. Whilst this is a priority, it is not always possible due to a variety of factors including wider population pressures, or where prisoners have specific sentence planning needs which can only be met at certain establishments.<\/p>

Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) is committed to meeting the needs of all vulnerable offenders, including those who have previously been in local authority care. All individuals that come into contact with the criminal justice system need to be able to access the right support to help them engage with their sentence.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMPPS has a Strategy for Care Experienced People which is based on the assessment of needs specific to this group. The strategy focuses on identifying people with care experience and collaborative working with local authorities and other organisations, helping individuals to receive the necessary support.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMPPS holds a limited amount of the information requested. Since 2015, as part of the basic custody screening interview, we have recorded the answers of all new prisoners coming into custody as to whether or not they have been in the care of local authority children\u2019s services at any time. The information is purely self-declared.<\/p>
