Summary

Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained because he believed a member of staff lied when preparing his programme assessment report. The report was prepared to identify whether Mr C had any outstanding offence-focussed work that he needed to complete.

Our investigation confirmed that the prison investigated Mr C's complaint appropriately and provided him with a detailed response. We also reviewed the programme assessment report. The evidence did not support Mr C's complaint that the member of staff lied.
