Liability Risk and Insurance
Ankle injury during prison officer training
A man has received £4,750 in compensation after fracturing his ankle in an accident whilst training at work. He suffered the
injuries whilst training to become a prison officer at a training centre. As part of the warm up exercises in the Physical
Control with Care Training, the trainees were playing a game whereby they sat back to back, when given the signal the chosen
trainee had to reach the opposite wall and the other trainee had to stop them.
