<p>We commend our hard-working prison officers who do a vital job in protecting the
public every day, often in challenging and difficult circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>We
want prison officers to stay and progress their careers. We’ve improved induction
processes to ease transition into the job, provide care and support for our staff
and offer additional training. These measures are part of the work we are doing directly
with Governors to address local issues and ensure experienced staff and new recruits
remain in the service.</p><p> </p><p>Prison officer recruitment levels have varied
in recent years as can be seen in table 1 below. In the four years to March 2014 1,358
officer were appointed. In the four years to March 2018 11,221 officer were appointed.</p><p>There
will be more junior role officer leavers with short service in recent years as there
are more staff in post with short service.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: </strong></p><p>
