	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Please see the attached table showing financial penalties for 2013/2014 and quarter 1 of 2014/2015</p><p>It is important to note that performance points are essentially about operational efficiency, and at no point has public safety been at risk.</p><p>The Contract for HMP Altcourse sets out a strict performance framework, consisting of prescriptive performance targets and performance points to be levied against the Contractor for failure to meet prison standards. Performance points are proportionate to the severity of failure and, depending on the total number of points accrued for the performance quarter or year, liquidated damages are applied against the Contractor in accordance with the Contract.</p><p>It is important to stress that the Contractor’s performance is monitored and managed closely by MoJ staff on a daily basis and failure by the Contractor to meet performance targets results in performance points being applied. Any emerging or sustained performance failures are discussed in detail with the Contractor in order to rectify performance shortfalls as quickly as possible.</p><p>It is fair to say that HMP Altcourse achieve the majority of their contractual targets with proportionately low levels of performance points and financial remedies applied as a result.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 06/01/2015 15:06:30 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous attachment 1 file name 218218 - Table.xls title financial penalties 2013/14 - quarter 1 of 2014/15

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Violence in prisons is not tolerated and assaults on our hardworking staff are unacceptable. We do not underestimate the hard work and challenges that prison staff face on a daily basis which is why we have been working extremely closely with the police and CPS to tackle this issue. A new joint protocol produced by the Prison Service, Crown Prosecution Service and Association of Chief Police Officers will set out that when there are serious assaults on prison staff, the perpetrators will be prosecuted unless there is a good reason why not.</p><p>The number of assaults on staff is published in the Safety in Custody Bulletin available at this link: <a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics</a>. Table 3.1 provides the total number of staff assaults whereas the number of prisoner on officer assaults can be found in table 3.8 of the annual tables.</p><p>With the exception of prison officers assaulted during “prisoner on officer” assaults, the role of the staff member involved is not recorded and so any staff members that are assaulted in other types of assault incident cannot be identified by their specific role. The incident reporting system does not record detailed information about staff members that are assaulted and so we are not able to provide the requested breakdown. Whilst this information is not held centrally assaults on staff are taken very seriously and as such are recorded and managed locally.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 06/01/2015 17:23:10 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
