The ICO has produced good practice guidance on the use of violent
warning markers which might be a good starting point for you. We don't
have a written policy but follow the guidance provided by the ICO. See

Subject: [RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK] Markers for potentially violent people
Hi all,
This is the first time I have used the list, though we've been members
for a
while.
We are wondering if anyone has developed any corporate policy or
guidance
on the use of markers on customer files to signify potentially violent
people? At
the moment, we are aware of users abiding by different guidelines within
different systems and would like to develop a standard set of rules that
sets
out our legal position, and gives clear advice on how and when to use
markers,
whether or not to add notes, what kind of notes to write (if any) etc.
If anyone has any advice or documentation they are willing to share,
which
could give us a starting point, that would be much appreciated.
