Details
This Policy Framework sets out the requirements and guidance for all prison and probation staff involved in the progressive transfers of indeterminate sentence prisoners.
This Policy Framework:
- defines what is considered to be a ‘progressive transfer’
- provides staff with best practice guidance across a range of prisoner cohorts and adjacent HMPPS processes
- outlines the consideration process for a progressive transfer
- provides staff with a route to escalate cases within the management chain where a progressive transfer decision cannot be reached
This Policy Framework supports the ‘Policy Workstream’ of the HMPPS Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) Action Plan.
