This document provides a conditional roadmap for what the easing of restrictions will mean in practice. It is a summary of how prisons will operate while COVID-19 remains a threat but where the most severe restrictions on prison regimes are no longer proportionate or sustainable, or where the threat can be mitigated via alternative approaches. It sets out what we are trying to achieve, the core principles and the governance and assurance processes involved. This forms part of HMPPS's medium-term plan, and is supported by Exceptional Delivery Models (EDMs) and other more detailed guidance on the specific areas of policy involved.
