A requirement for anti-ligature cut down tools evolved from a recommendation by Woodcock which resulted in a PSI issued in June 2006 that mandated the need for all uniformed staff within closed or semi open establishments to carry anti-ligature cut-down tools.

Cut-down tools are a national requirement underpinned by PSO 2700 (Suicide Prevention and Self Harm Management)

Cut down tools are used for cutting through a variety of materials that prisoners use to create ligatures the most commonly used being bed sheets.
