    Report summary

    Craig Royce, who had a history of mental health problems and epilepsy, was found hanging in his prison cell on 24 December 2016. The report identified concerns that a referral to mental health services following an incident of self-harm was not made and that there was no robust documentary system for communicating such referrals. The inquest jury also considered that his risk of self-harm or suicide was not properly reviewed with appropriate precautions taken.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of a reliable documentary system for communicating mental health referral information

    Wider context from the report

    “There is no form/template to deal with the situation of a prisoner who needs to be referred to the mental health service. Reliance upon the transfer of this vital information to Healthcare by means of a telephone conversation could be unreliable. A robust, simple documentary system is required for the communication of such important information, namely that a prisoner needs to be referred to mental health services for an assessment to be carried out by mental health services. This would be distinct from the TAG system which caters for a brief assessment to be relayed across. ”
