### sec.52 Refusing and revoking approval of individual for personal call The chief executive must not approve an individual for personal calls by a prisoner, and must revoke the approval of an individual, if the individual informs the chief executive that the individual does not consent, or no longer consents, to the prisoner calling the individual. The chief executive may refuse to approve an individual, and may revoke the approval of an individual, for personal calls by a prisoner if the chief executive reasonably believes— the individual is a victim or alleged victim of an offence committed or alleged to have been committed by the prisoner; or the contact details proposed for a personal call to the individual are not correct or are not suitable for a personal call made by a prisoner; or a personal call from a prisoner to the individual has been, or is likely to be, used for a prohibited prisoner communication.
