    Mr Arron Hamer, who had been in custody since 2009 and was held at HMP Buckley Hall, was found hanging in his cell on 18 June 2026. The principal concern was that prison officers did not cut the ligature or commence CPR for nearly three minutes, and that most prison officers do not receive mandatory refresher training in basic life support after their initial training.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of refresher training in basic life support for prison officers

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The Court heard there is no mandatory refresher training on basic life support for prison officers after they have conducted their initial prison officer training. If they do the first aid at work course this has to be refreshed every three years but only certain officers do this. For the majority they do not have refresher training. ”
