Ministerial Accountability Board Final Report Easy Read version
This report outlines how the Ministerial Accountability Board oversaw progress on 43 recommendations and actions arising from three Fatal Accident Inquiries of deaths in prison custody.
Learning
The prison service has worked hard. They want to keep making their system better.
What the Board thinks:
- Independent checks are good but need time.
- There are some problems with organisations reporting to a Board.
- There are some problems with behaviours in organisations that have been there for many years.
- Learning must be built into the system to stop deaths.
The best result of the changes would be less deaths by suicide in prison.
