Prison and Probation Policy Framework
HMPPS National Health and Safety Arrangements for First and Emergency Aid
Criminal Justice Hub summary
Sets responsibilities for arranging first aid across prison and probation services, including community payback. Local assessments determine the trained staff, equipment and facilities needed. The framework covers emergency arrangements, training, records and review, including coordination with healthcare providers and contractors. It concerns how services organise first aid, rather than instructions for treating an injury.
