Moving to another prison or leaving prison

Moving to another prison

If you move to another prison, your support plan will go with you.

We will talk with staff from the council where your new prison is and, with your permission, give them your support plan. They will meet with you and check whether your needs have changed.

Leaving prison

When you leave prison, your support plan will go with you.

If you live in Dorset we will transfer you to the local team linked to where you live to ensure your needs continue to be met on release. The local team will review you shortly afterwards in case your needs change.

If you live outside of Dorset we will talk or meet with staff from that council and, with your permission, give them your support plan. They will also meet with you to talk about what you need and see what else they can help with.
