Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, Part 5, Chapter 56: Reducing risks in cells; recommendation follows paragraph 56.13
Senior officers should ensure that their staff know how to carry out fabric checks. They should ensure that officers realise that in order to check the walls of a cell, it will be necessary to look behind or under the furniture next to them. If that can only be done by moving the furniture, the furniture should be moved. If in the course of doing so they discover that the furniture is broken, they should check whether any parts of it could be used as a weapon.
