Recommendation

As has been stated by (Forensic Social Worker 1) and (JHC Psychiatrist 1), it seems appropriate for Mr Bryan to be transferred to an environment of lower security. Mr Bryan needs to move to a more challenging setting to further his rehabilitation.

Recommendation

Areas for further assessment and intervention should include beliefs about the events of the offence, its impact on the victim’s family and his racial gender attitudes.

Recommendation

Although objectively drug free for many years relapse prevention in terms of substance misuse should be undertaken.
