<p>A barricade or prevention of access is an incident where one or more prisoners
deny access to all or part of a prison, by use of any physical barrier, to those lawfully
empowered to have such access.</p><p>An incident at height is any incident that takes
place above or below ground level where a person could be injured if they fell from
that place. Incidents at height come in many forms, ranging from internal incidents
(prisoners on the fall arrest netting or climbing over bars) to an external incident
(prisoners on the roof).</p><p>The information requested can be found in the HMPPS
Annual Digest - Protesting Behaviour data tool: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64c1438a90b545000d3e83c4/7.__Protesting_behaviour_data_tool.xlsx"

figures have been drawn from the HMPPS Incident Reporting System. Care is taken when
processing and analysing returns but the detail is subject to the inaccuracies inherent
in any large scale recording system. Although shown to the last case, the figures
may not be accurate to that level.</p><p>The national staffing position in prisons
is improving, with a substantial increase of over 1,634 Full-Time Equivalent Band
3-5 prison officers in the 12 months ending 31 December 2023.</p><p>We are committed
to making prisons a safe place to work and providing prison officers with the right
support, training and tools to empower them to do their jobs. We are providing targeted
support to prisons to operate the Challenge, Support and Intervention Plan (CSIP)
which provides a framework for managing violence that is centred around the individual
needs of prisoners, helping them to move away from violent behaviours.</p>
