Summary
Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that the prison inappropriately failed to hold sub-group meetings as agreed by the risk management team (RMT). The purpose of those meetings was to obtain consistent information from Mr C in relation to the circumstances of his offence. Mr C believed this was holding him back from progressing to less secure prison conditions.
Our investigation found that the RMT discussed Mr C's case in March 2012 and agreed that he would be reviewed monthly by a sub-group for a period of not less than four months. The prison confirmed that sub-group meetings were held to discuss Mr C in June, September and November. Because of that, we were satisfied the prison held the relevant sub-group meetings and we did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
