4.2 Human Resources Management 4.2.1 The Committee reiterates its support of the DCS' migration to a 7DE and the consequent phasing out of overtime but remains convinced that the apparent universal implementation of a 2x12 shift system short- sighted and ill-advised. The number of concerns raised by staff around compromised security and the impact staff shortages have on case flow management are matters of extreme concern. The Committee had in May recommended that the DCS should, as a matter of urgency, perform an audit of each centre's staffing requirements to ensure that the shift system used at each centre is specific to that centre's needs i.e. ensures maximum security of both inmates and staff and does not compromise service delivery. The outcome of this exercise and remedial action taken should be submitted to the Committee by 31 March 2010.
