	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2019 answer text <p>Data for the numbers of assaults and serious assaults in each prison, broken down by type of weapon and type of injury, is set out in the attached tables. The figures are presented by calendar year rather than by quarter. This is because analysis at the level of detail requested produces many results of 5 or fewer. Disclosure-proofing to reduce the risk of identification, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, requires such low numbers to be suppressed. Even at the annual level, some such values have had to be suppressed.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is taking unprecedented action to improve safety in prisons. We have recruited over 4,700 more prison officers since October 2016, and we now have the greatest number in post since early 2012. The Challenge, Support and Intervention Plan case management process for prisoners at risk of violence has been mandated for all prisons to help staff to manage violent prisoners and those identified as posing a raised risk of being violent.</p><p> </p><p>We are investing an extra £70 million to improve safety, security and decency, and equipping officers with PAVA incapacitant spray and body-worn cameras to help prevent serious harm to staff and prisoners when dealing with violent incidents. We are improving perimeter security and introducing new x-ray scanners, drug-detection dogs and dedicated search teams to address the supply of drugs that we know are fuelling much of the violence in custody.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland grouped question UIN 247719 question first answered 28/06/2019 15:17:51 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

	uin	257093
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2019 answer text <p>HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) does not impose penalties for deaths in custody. We do, however, monitor and assure the use of the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) case management procedures for prisoners identified as being at risk of self-harm or suicide.</p><p> </p><p>All prisons are required to comply with chapter 12 of PSI 64/2011, which sets out the required action following a death in custody. All such deaths are independently investigated by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) and subject to an inquest. All prisons, including those that are privately managed, are required to respond to PPO recommendations and any Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD) reports issued by Coroners.</p><p> </p><p>Privately managed prison performance is closely monitored by robust contract management processes. Each privately managed prison has an on-site controller, employed by HMPPS. Controllers, together with regional contract managers review performance against indicators set out in the contract. Any improvement action identified may include a requirement for urgent improvement and/or financial deductions. The controller will monitor the provider’s actions when there is a death in custody and the provider’s compliance with any actions set out in responses to PPO reports and/or PFD reports from Coroners. In the event there were serious failings highlighted at the prison, the Authority would look to manage the Contractor’s poor performance through utilising the appropriate contractual levers.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland grouped question UIN 257094 question first answered 30/05/2019 15:55:39 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
