Summary
Mr C, who is a prisoner, was removed from his job and allocated another role. He complained about this and was told that the decision had been taken after intelligence was received that indicated he had been involved in subversive activities. Mr C was not happy about this and brought his complaint to us.
The Scottish Prison Service provided us with a copy of the intelligence held on Mr C. We recognised their entitlement to act upon this, and were satisfied that they took their decision to remove Mr C from his job after considering relevant information. In the circumstances, we did not uphold the complaint.
