Summary
Mr C was deselected from an offending behaviour programme. His solicitor contacted the prison about the deselection. When the prison responded, Mr C felt that the information that they provided to his solicitor about the reasons for his deselection was incorrect. As part of our investigation, we saw notes of meetings between Mr C and staff, risk management group discussions, the deselection report and officer recollection of what was discussed with Mr C. When we reviewed this, we were satisfied that the information held by the SPS supported the information provided to Mr C's solicitor about the reasons for his deselection from the programme.
