Article 1F is intended to exclude individuals from the protection of the Refugee Convention where there are serious reasons to consider that they have committed certain serious crimes and they are avoiding being brought to international or national justice to be held to account for their actions. It is designed to protect the host state and the integrity of the asylum process from abuse but is not a punitive measure and it must be applied responsibly, bearing in mind the humanitarian character of the Refugee Convention and the consequences of exclusion for the individual. Those excluded from refugee status under Article 1F will also normally be excluded from Humanitarian Protection. See Humanitarian Protection guidance.

High Supervision: an individual for whom all activities and movements require to be authorised, supervised and monitored by prison staff. The Prison and Probation Ombudsman, is appointed by the Secretary of State for Justice, and is independent of the NOMS (including HM Prison Service). The Ombudsman will investigate complaints which are submitted by individual prisoners who have failed to obtain satisfaction from the Prison Service requests and complaints system and which are eligible in all other respects. The Ombudsman will investigate circumstances of individual complaints about deaths in custody]. However, the Ombudsman has discretion to accept complaints from third parties on behalf of prisoners where the individual is deceased or unable to act on their own behalf. The Ombudsman's terms of reference include contracted out prisons, contracted out services, including escorts and the actions of people working in prisons but not employed by NOMS. In Scotland, the Scottish Prisons Complaints Commission (SPCC) fulfills a similar role. It is independent from the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) and investigates complaints made by prisoners that have not been resolved through the internal complaints system of the SPS. It reports annually to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice. Fire precautions and cell fire rescue denying protection to those who have committed crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity, other serious crimes abroad or acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations by excluding them from the Refugee ConventionTo reduce the risk of an inspector's personal safety being compromised if it is necessary to correspond with an individual prisoner, it is suggested that inspectors anonymise their letters by removing any named reference to themselves or their line manager. Guidance should also be sought from the prison management as to whether the letter should be sent direct to the individual or via the governor. Correspondence to individual prisons can also be sent via Independent Monitoring Boards. There is nothing in the Refugee Convention, which suggests that the issue of expiation or the passage of time since the crime was committed should play any part in determining the seriousness of the original crime or in reducing the offender’s liability to exclusion. On the contrary, the notion that a person who has served their sentence no longer falls within Article1F(b) of the Refugee Convention is inconsistent with the wording and the aims underlying this exclusion clause which gives signatory states the power to refuse refugee status to those who have committed serious crimes before their admission to a receiving country. Extradition Medium Supervision: an individual for whom activities and movements are subject to locally specified limited supervision and restrictions.

HSE has in the past received complaints regarding the sizes of cells and the fact that they were not large enough according to the Workplace Regulations reg.10. This regulation and its associated ACOP require that rooms where people work have a volume of at least 11 cubic metres. It is FOD's view that cells are not places of work subject to this regulation: whilst prison officers may be at work when they enter or search cells, the main purpose of the cell is to provide accommodation for a number of prisoners. Further, the size of cells has been covered by separate, specific legislation for many years. Before we fit a simple linear regression model, we should first visualize the data to gain an understanding of it.before a person who is the subject of an extradition request or claims to be a fugitive from justice, is granted refugee status or other form of leave such as Humanitarian Protection, Discretionary Leave or Restricted Leave In Scotland, there are also 3 operational grades of uniformed officer - C, D & E. Whereas grades C & D wear only 'HMP' on their epaulettes, those designated as 'First Line Managers' wear two pips. The overall grade structure is A-I with 'I' being the most senior. Grades C – E also contain non-operational staffs who wear civilian clothes rather than uniform. Uniform is not worn by middle and senior managers in grades F – I). A proportion of cells in prisons will be 'safer' cells. These cells meet a more rigorous standard of design (laid down in a Prison Service Instruction) that minimises the risk of suicide via a ligature. The number of safer cells will be dependent on risk. Safer cells form only part of the wider management of risk from suicide. Whichever clauses of Article 1F apply, the person does not have to have been prosecuted or convicted of any offence in any country. Equally, evidence of the acquittal of a person accused of a crime or a pardon following conviction, does not necessarily mean that exclusion cannot or should not be applied. Each case must be considered on its individual merits. Evidence of a conviction will usually provide serious reasons for considering that they have committed the crime and you will not normally need to examine at length the evidential basis for the conviction. Before undertaking an interview in a case where exclusion issues may arise, you must refer to the detailed guidance in the following sections of this instruction and the guidance on asylum interviews:
