We take all reported incidents seriously and work hard to mitigate any risks that staff or prisoners face. We record ambulance attendance at prisons but our analysis does not identify the number of attendances relating specifically to staff injuries. However, we examine all of the information that we receive on reported incidents to ensure that we learn lessons and provide all staff with appropriate guidance. We are working closely with Public Health England to understand the issues around secondary exposure to psychoactive substances and ensure that we respond appropriately.</p><p>We have revised our internal guidance on controlling the risks of secondary exposure and this will be published shortly. It includes information on how to assess and control risk on entry into cells where psychoactive substances have been used, with more detail on specific airborne risks and control methods, and clearer guidance on responding to and investigating exposure.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 13/02/2019 15:29:46 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of the new Prison Education Framework and Dynamic Provisioning System contracts on the continuity of education provision in prisons; and if he will make a statement.
tabling member constituency	Dwyfor Meirionnydd
tabling member printed	Liz Saville Roberts
uin	217067
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>We intend to undertake a full assessment of the impact of our prison education reforms. Our ground-breaking Education and Employment Strategy, published in May 2018, set out ambitious plans to give prison governors power and control over the education arrangements in their establishments. The Prison Education Framework and prison education Dynamic Purchasing System are key elements of reform, enabling a governor to determine what their curriculum is, how it is delivered and who delivers it. But our Strategy also made clear that consistency across the prison estate is necessary in some areas so that prisoners can move from one prison to another without disrupting their education. The Prison Education Framework is the means through which governors must deliver the core common curriculum of maths, English, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), whilst a suite of Concession Contracts with four Awarding Organisations means their qualifications will be used exclusively in the seven most commonly studied subjects. Both will ensure continuity, as will the arrangements we are mandating for assessment of reception, development of personal learning plans and common formats for data gathering and submission.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 13/02/2019 17:08:11 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

In the meantime, incoming suppliers are discussing a range of issues with staff and their trade union representatives, both to ensure transition and to ensure the important legal duties concerning staff rights on transfer are met. My officials will monitor these staff transfer arrangements closely.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/02/2019 16:59:32 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart previous answer version 100742 answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

uin	216366
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2019 answer text <p>As part of cross-Whitehall preparations for a no deal scenario, all Government Departments are considering what resources are required to mitigate any potential impacts and to ensure that businesses and citizens are sufficiently prepared for all eventualities of Brexit. The Ministry of Justice was allocated £17.3m in 18/19 and £30m in 19/20 from HMT specifically for EU-related activities. Robust plans are in place to ensure EU Exit related allocations are spent in an appropriate and efficient way across all business areas in the MoJ. This has allowed the department to prepare effectively for the potential impact on prisons, in any EU exit scenario. Delivering a revised deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government’s top priority. This has not changed. The Government is accelerating no deal preparations to ensure the country is prepared for every eventuality. It is the responsible thing to do.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/02/2019 17:57:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
