Summary

Mr C complained about bullying by a prison officer in his prison. We found that the documentary evidence showed that the officer in question had not been responsible for various actions that Mr C had considered him to have been, such as making a medical decision about whether Mr C should have to share a cell. We also found that the officer had not acted inappropriately in respect of other issues, such as arranging for medical observation of Mr C in line with a prison drugs protocol. We did not uphold the complaint.
