Enhancing Risk Management in SPS: Best Practices and Recommendations

This document explores the strengths and weaknesses of risk management processes in Scottish Prisons Services (SPS). Key features include the standardization of processes across the prison estate, movement towards multi-agency management, and the development of Individual Risk Management Plans (RMPs). While the implementation of Psychological Risk Assessments has fostered a holistic approach using best practices, challenges such as duplication of paperwork, targeting sentence length over individual needs, and resource intensity persist. Recommendations for improvement focus on embracing flexibility and community involvement.
