<p>These figures have been drawn from the HMPPS Incident Reporting System, which records
the legal gender of prisoners. They are based on snapshot data collections from March
2018, 2019 and 2021. There was no collection in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Data is not available for 2017. This is because legal gender did not form part of
the central data collection in that year.</p><p>In 2017-18 there were 38 assaults
and 14 sexual assaults on legally male transgender prisoners in the men’s prison estate.
In 2018-19 there were 16 assaults and fewer than 5 sexual assaults. In 2020-21 there
were fewer than 5 assaults and fewer than 5 sexual assaults.</p><p>In 2017-18 there
were 332 self-harm incidents involving legally male transgender prisoners in the men’s
prison estate. In 2018-19 there were 159. In 2020-21 there were 228. Data on attempted
suicide is not available.</p><p>We have trained more than 25,000 staff in suicide
and self-harm prevention as part of our drive to tackle these issues, and we continue
to develop initiatives to better support people in custody.</p>
