Summary
Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained that he was deselected from the violence prevention programme at his prison following a dispute with the programme's facilitators at one specific session. Mr C also complained that prison staff failed to investigate his complaint adequately.
Our investigation found that Mr C was not deselected solely because of an incident at one specific session, but due to his failure to participate meaningfully in the programme over a period of time. We also found that prison staff looked at relevant evidence during the investigation of Mr C's complaint.
