The coroner's concerns
1. lack of formal risk assessment for self-harm
“That when Mr [name redacted] was first admitted to Woodhill Prison there was formal risk assessment completed as to the risk of self harm or suicide despite the fact that he was under the age of 30,was returning to prison, had a history of previous self harm, and had mental health problems in the past including depression. Almost any risk assessment tool would have identified him as high risk.”
