Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)That the following recommendation is made: 1. That Sodexo should ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, that all staff trained on the “Talk to Me” strategy are aware: (i) of the limited circumstances when a “concern form” should be completed (see finding in fact 20); (ii) that a single member of staff, trained on the “Talk to Me” strategy, can place a prisoner on the “Talk to Me” strategy by completing an “initiation form”; and (iii) that once a prisoner is placed on the “Talk to Me” strategy the procedures in finding in fact 19 must be followed, which must include at least one case conference taking place within 24 hours.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses. Go to the section 28 responses.
