Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, Part 5, Chapter 56: Reducing risks in cells; recommendation follows paragraph 56.13
An establishment’s written cell-searching strategy should require each cell to be fully searched at least once in every three months. Senior officers should ensure that full cell searches are taking place as regularly as the strategy requires. Returns showing which cells have been fully searched, and when, should be submitted monthly. The department which is supposed to scrutinise the returns should do so speedily, and notify the senior officer of the unit and its principal officer if that is not happening.
