answer text <p>All prisoners in normal accommodation have 24-hour access to sanitation. This is achieved in a number of ways across the prison estate. The most common method of providing access to toilet and washing facilities are in-cell. However, in some prisons, it has proved impossible or impractical to fit in-cell sanitation in some cells. The table provided below details the number of cells which, as of 20<sup>th</sup> October 2023, provide 24-hour access to sanitation by other means. These broadly fall into two categories.</p><p>In some parts of the Open and Women’s Estate, open access to shared facilities is available in certain parts of the prison. This open access is also available behind locked spurs with unlocked cells in certain Category C Male prisons. In the table below, these cells are listed as “Communal Access” and can currently be found in 29 prisons (11 open prisons, 11 training prisons, five women’s prisons and two reception prisons) across the estate.</p><p>Meanwhile, 21 prisons have some cells that provide access to facilities via an electronic unlocking system, whereby prisoners are able to request access via an in-cell call bell. This allows the cell door to be opened remotely for a limited period of time to allow access to shared facilities on the wing. In the table below, these cells are listed as “Controlled Unlock”.

answer text <p>Between 01 January and 31 December 2022, 47,690 working days were lost due to stress. We are unable to make a distinction between sickness caused generally by stress. The average working days lost figure for stress related sickness was 2.7 per staff member.</p><p> </p><p>We are focused on ensuring our staff have the support they need to manage workplace stress, including support for staff and managers such as Occupational Health and the Employee Assistance Programme. Staff are also able to access additional support through staff networks, staff support leads and the HMPPS network of Mental Health Allies. This is balanced with a robust approach to attendance management to ensure that staff absence is kept to a minimum.</p><p> </p><p>We have exceeded our recruitment targets for the last three years. We recruited over 1,000 trainee probation officers in 2020/21, 1,500 2021/22 and a further 1,500 in 2022/23. Those staff are now starting to finish their training and take on full caseloads.</p><p> </p><ol><li>Average working days lost per member of staff is calculated as number of working days lost to sickness divided by the average number of full-time equivalent staff for a year.</li></ol>

answer text <p>The leaving rates and indicative vacancy rates by prison of Band 3-5 Prison Officers and Operational Support Grade staff are provided in the accompanying Excel files.</p><p> </p><p>Despite a challenging labour market, we have seen some indications of an improving resource picture nationally within prisons, with a substantial increase of 701 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Band 3-5 Prison officers between June 2022 to June 2023. In the same period, we have seen a fall in the resignation rate amongst Band 3-5 officers of 2.6 percentage points, down from 11.5% in June 2022 to 8.9% as of June 2023 and a fall in the leaving rate* amongst band 3-5 officers of 1.9 percentage points, down from 15.3% in June 2022 to 13.4% as of June 2023.</p><p> </p><p>The data on indicative vacancy rates are internal management information. Target Staffing levels cannot be used to directly calculate vacancies due to the discretion governors have to change establishment level staffing requirements through Governors' Freedoms. As a result, the MoJ does not regularly present vacancy data and the data presented should be treated with caution. We are considering options to publish vacancy data alongside wider Workforce data and future publications may take different forms. The data are provided from internal Workforce Planning Tools, a manual prison return and therefore subject to human error. Further caveats on the data and handling guidance is set out in the attached spreadsheet.</p><p> </p><p>Where prisons are showing FTEs below their Target Staffing level, these are routinely supplemented (e.g. by using Payment Plus, a form of overtime) which is not accounted for in the indicative vacancy data provided. Use of detached duty (DD), a long-standing mechanism to deploy staff from one prison or region to support another, is also not reflected in the data. At times, we have intentionally over-recruited in certain prisons or regions as this gives the greater system wide resilience (including through the use of DD).</p><p> </p><p>*Leaving rates refer to leavers who have left HMPPS, for all reasons for leaving excluding voluntary early departure or redundancy and relates to permanent staff only. Leaving rates do not include staff who have moved internally within MoJ or have been promoted or moved to non-Prison Officer roles. Resignation rates refers only to leavers who have Resignation as a reason for leaving.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Recruitment and retention (leaving and vacancy rates) are a key consideration when formulating HMPPS pay proposals for the Prison Service Pay Review Body (PSPRB). However, levels of pay for Prison Officers and operational support staff are ultimately determined through the independent PSPRB process with the panel having considered evidence from both Government (HMPPS) and the recognised trade unions.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Provision for detached duty is made in the Prison Service Instruction on Travel and Subsistence, which can be found at: <a href="https://justiceuk.sharepoint.com/sites/HMPPSIntranet/SitePages/Travel-%26-Subsistence-PSI-.aspx?web=1" target="_blank">PSI 15/2012 Travel &amp; subsistence policy</a>. This was published in 2012 and re-issued in 2013.</p><p> </p><p>We have no record of when the detached duty policy was first introduced, as it predates the creation of the Ministry of Justice in 2007. We understand, however, that detached duty may have been in place since the 1980s.</p><p> </p><p>Staff are deployed on detached duty as a tactical response to support other prisons when required, to cover staffing shortfalls, or to meet other operation requirements. It provides H M Prison &amp; Probation Service with a vital contingency measure to assist in maintaining good order and security in prisons. There are no plans to withdraw it.</p> more like this
