Summary
Mr C complained about how his generic assessment had been carried out. A generic assessment is carried out to determine what work programmes prisoners should carry out in order to progress through the prison system. Mr C complained that he had been recommended to take part in a programme without input from psychologists and which he had already completed.
We found that the Scottish Prison Service had followed the correct process in assessing Mr C. We found that the decision reached about what programmes Mr C was suitable for included the Head of Psychology and that reasonable suggestions were put forward to support him during the programme. We did not uphold the complaint.
