Safer Custody Team Leader

The Governor/Director must appoint a Safer Custody Team Leader (SCTL) who is competent and has appropriate authority to undertake the role. Their main responsibility will be to ensure continuous improvement in the delivery of safer custody procedures by way of data monitoring, policy compliance and learning.



The SCTL may be best placed to provide management oversight of peer support schemes related to safer custody, such as local Listener and Insider Schemes.



The SCTL must provide support to staff undertaking specific safer custody roles such as those listed below and including the nominated Family Liaison Officer(s), unless the FLO is not line managed by the SCTL, in which case this support must be provided through the FLO’s line manager.



The safer custody priorities for each prison will vary according to the function, population, size and churn. It is recommended that each prison holds regular safer custody team meetings chaired by the SCTL. It is for the Governor/Director to decide how frequently the safer custody team should meet. The following items may usefully comprise the agenda, however their priority will be determined by the risks faced by the prison at any given time.

Violence Reduction Co-ordinator (VRC)



The role of the VRC is to support the SCTL in ensuring the prison is compliant with the Zero Tolerance approach to violence. The VRC will work closely with the Suicide Prevention Co-ordinator to ensure that safer custody is embedded across the prison. The VRC monitors trends in violence and the management responses to violent incidents, victims and perpetrators as reported on the Hub. The VRC ensures compliance with the Cell Sharing Risk Assessment procedures by undertaking quality checks of CSRA forms and reviews. The VRC liaises with residential managers and security staff to ensure that those prisoners at risk of harm to others and from others are being properly identified and their risk managed.

Suicide Prevention Co-ordinator (SPC)



The role of the SPC is to support the SCTL in ensuring the prison is compliant with NOMS suicide prevention and self-harm management strategy. The SPC will work closely with the VRC to ensure that safer custody is embedded across the prison. In particular, the SPC will undertake quality checks of open and closed ACCT documents. Liaise with residential managers, security staff and healthcare staff to ensure that at-risk prisoners are being properly identified and appropriate actions taken to manage the risks posed. The SPC monitors self-harm data and be alert to changing trends and the reasons behind those. SPCs may find it helpful to undertake ACCT assessor and ACCT case manager training. They should not, however, fulfil those roles as part of their daily duties unless there is an exceptional need to do so.
