Management of inter-prison transfers

Management of inter-prison transfers (DOCX, 396.6 KB)

This guidance has been developed to support the effective management of inter-prison transfers (IPT) facilitated by the PECS Suppliers GeoAmey and Serco.

Clear escalation pathways are included within the guidance for additional support with contact details as required. HMPPS should utilise these in conjunction with the Gold Rota which provides all on-call information.

The guidance has been circulated to all HMPPS establishments, PMU and both PECS suppliers to enable a consistent approach.

The aim is to increase the number of successfully completed transfers, ensure consistency and reduce cancellations.
