Summary

Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that the prison had failed to record the circumstances of an assault upon him by another prisoner. In bringing his complaint to this office, Mr C said the governor of the prison failed to ensure his complaint was properly investigated and responded to.

In investigating Mr C's complaint, we were satisfied that the governor had taken appropriate steps to investigate Mr C's concerns that the prison failed to record the circumstances of the alleged assault. We also satisfied that the governor's response was appropriate. Therefore, we did not uphold Mr C's complaints.
