B.14.02.R1 At-Risk Prisoner File (National Requirement)

At-Risk File

1. Each at-risk prisoner has a separate file deemed to be their “at-risk” file, which is accessible to staff involved in the management of the prisoner.
2. At a minimum, an at-risk should file should contain:
   • The new arrival risk assessment (NARA) form.
   • A copy of the prisoner's at-risk management plan.
   • A copy of all incident reports during the at-risk period.
   • Observation reports undertaken during the at-risk period.
   • Detailed reports from all support personnel, including medical/chaplains/psychological/psychiatric notes completed during the at-risk period and the current sentence.
3. Case notes of the unit manager/staff/personnel observations.
4. Any previous reports which would help the management of the prisoner, such as pre-sentence report.
5. This file should be clearly identifiable to all staff.
6. The at-risk file is maintained until the prisoner is no longer at-risk, at which time it is placed on the prisoner's prison file and stored in a way that it is clearly identifiable.
7. Each current penal file of an at-risk prisoner, or previous at-risk prisoner, is identified with an “At-Risk” stamp on the front.
8. An at-risk file is transferred with the prisoner when the prisoner transfers between units, or between prisons. All at-risk files relating to the period of imprisonment must arrive at the new location with the prisoner.
