Report into attempted suicide of D (PDF, 776.3 KB)

Following a Court of Appeal judgement of 28 February 2006, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) was commissioned to conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attempted suicide of a young man (Mr D).

This was to examine if his treatment complied with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights and to report back to the Secretary of State for the Home Office.
