Where credible information is received by a prison official that a prisoner has threatened to commit suicide the Scottish Prison Service should review their procedures to ensure that the information:- (i) is recorded in the prisoner’s record together with the details of any action taken and the reasons for any decision not to invoke the ACT 2 CARE procedure; (ii) is communicated to all those involved in the supervision and care of the prisoner concerned; (iii) is recorded in the prisoner’s medical records; and (iv) is reviewed in early course by a senior officer or hall manager and a prison health professional with a view to deciding whether any further action is necessary.
