B.14.02.R2 At-Risk Prisoner Management Plan (National Requirement)

At-Risk Management Plan

Each prisoner deemed to be “at-risk” has a “Prisoner At-risk Management Plan (B.14.02.F1). The plan includes:

1. The placement of the prisoner to ensure their safety.
2. The type of risk and reason for at-risk status.
3. The frequency of any observations. Where it has been decided that the frequency of observations will be greater than 15 minutes, the reasons for this are fully documented, approved by a unit manager (or their delegate)/on-call manager, and placed on the prisoner’s at-risk file.
4. The prisoner’s access to any support systems, programmes, or special requirements, including spiritual, cultural, social, religious, mental health, special or personal needs.
5. The times when the prisoner’s at-risk status is to be reviewed.
6. The names and roles of key people involved in determining and implementing the prisoner’s at-risk management plan.
7. This plan will address the removal of a prisoner from at-risk and any ongoing assessment; treatment or monitoring that may be deemed to be necessary. This may include on-going follow up by the Regional Forensic Mental Health Team; on-going health treatment; the continuation of observations; and specific management interventions that will assist the prisoner to remain in mainstream residential units.
