Official visitors review of safety order form

This form should take 15 minutes to complete.

---

Safety orders aren't used as punishment. They are for:

• the prisoner's safety
• the safety of others.

Under the Corrective Services Act 2006 (section 118), a prisoner can be put in separate confinement for a short time. This is a disciplinary measure using a Separate Confinement Order.

During your review you may need to speak with the prisoner.

If a Safety Order may have been used as punishment, record this in the Recommendations section.
