Decision report 201005368

Summary
Mr C was working through a management plan that had been agreed by his prison and was hoping to be paroled at his next Parole Board hearing. However, he was concerned that the plan seemed to have been stopped. Our investigation revealed that concerns had been raised at a multi-disciplinary meeting about Mr C's suitability for parole at present and that it had been decided to assess Mr C further before considering a suitable way forward. The current position was that a case conference was being arranged. It is for the SPS, not this office, to decide if someone presents a particular risk or needs further assessment. Our role in this complaint was to see whether the SPS had handled it in line with procedures, and we were satisfied that this was the case.
