answer text <p>Since December 2017 any staff who are potentially exposed to blood and other body fluids are able to call our Body Fluid Exposure and Sharps Injury 24/7 telephone helpline to obtain prompt medical advice. If the employee is advised to attend A&amp;E this signifies that the body fluid exposure is high risk and medical assessment by A&amp;E is required to obtain blood for serum save and to assess suitability for post exposure prophylaxis and/or Hepatitis B injection.</p><p> </p><p>Should Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) be required, the member of staff will call the Body Fluid Exposure and Sharps Injury helpline with details of treatment they have received. Follow up testing for Blood Borne Virus (BBV) is provided for all injured staff to determine if they have contracted a BBV, however, staff are not required to report if they have contracted a blood borne virus at work and the data is therefore it is not possible to report data with any certainty.</p><p> </p><p>If an employee were to contract a Blood Borne Virus from an occupational exposure and had reported this to the Body Fluid Exposure and Sharps Injury helpline (provided by HMPPS’ Occupational Health supplier Optima Health) then HMPPS are required to be made aware under RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013) with the employees consent. None of these cases have been reported to date.</p>

answer text <p>Prisons are required to maintain a record of the courses offered to prisoners. All prisons under the Prison Education Framework (PEF) contract are required to agree an annual delivery plan which sets out the services to be provided. Once the delivery plan is finalised a copy of the curriculum is uploaded onto an HMPPS Management Information System which is then visible and available to all prisons to support better co-ordination of the offer prisoners receive.</p><p> </p><p>We want prisons to provide offenders with the tools they need for successful rehabilitation, including education opportunities that prepare them for employment on release.</p> more like this

answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>The Government is working closely with a broad group of expert stakeholders to develop a new accessible IT Service. This will support and enable both represented and unrepresented claimants to progress Road Traffic Accident related personal injury claims under the new small claims track limit of £5,000. The Government’s key design principle in approaching the development of the new IT service is that that the claimant and access to justice must be at the heart of the process and the new service must be as simple and efficient as possible for unrepresented claimants to make, progress and settle their claims online without the need to go to court. In addition, unrepresented claimants will also have access to a bespoke alternative dispute resolution scheme, which will enable them to gain, at no cost to themselves, an independent view on the liability decision made by the defendant insurer. The service will also provide claimants with guidance, so that claimants can understand and navigate the IT Service without unnecessary delay.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Claimants however, will not be precluded from having legal representation at any point of the process, but will be liable to pay for a lawyer.</p>

answer text <p>The Government is working closely with its key delivery partner (the Motor Insurers’ Bureau) and a broad group of expert stakeholders from across the personal injury sector to develop a new accessible IT Service. This will enable both represented and unrepresented claimants to progress Road Traffic Accident related personal injury claims under £5,000.</p><p>Public testing of the IT Service is planned to begin in November 2019 and, in light of user’s experience, the Government will consider making some further modifications to the service before it goes live in April 2020, so that it is easy to understand and navigate.</p><p>In addition, the service will provide a significant amount of management information. The Government is committed to reviewing this management information and how the new service is operating to identify any required changes and improvements approximately eighteen months from implementation. This will include a full evaluation of all relevant data relating to the overall customer experience of claimants using the service.</p>

answer text <p>The number of agency staff in HMCTS was 2,623 as of March 2019, which was 14.15%. The earliest held comparable data is from 2016 and shows 1,569, which was 8.5% of the staffing numbers. This is an increase of 1,054 over this period (or 5.65% of total staffing numbers). However, this is a 0.45 percentage point decrease from the previous year (March 2018).

Prior to this there were multiple business units that held their own people data. We are unable to obtain agency data from HR systems prior to 2016. As with any large data system, there are also likely to be some inaccuracies.</p><p> </p><p>Over the period of Reform, we expect the shape and size of the organisation to change. As part of this we are reducing our staffing levels and expect the future skills of our people to change. The HMCTS workforce strategy during this period is to increase the capability of our staff, whilst simultaneously increasing our workforce flexibility through the increased usage of contingent labour. This is in order to reduce redundancy costs and protect the jobs of longer serving, permanent staff. The required staffing level needed across each of our HMCTS sites is monitored closely, and proactive recruitment undertaken to ensure these levels are maintained.</p>

answer text <p>The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) receives circa 26,000 health and safety concerns a year. HSE does not receive this information in a format which enables customisable searching (e.g. type of business, premises, or subject matter), as most of the data is provided in a free-text format to make it as easy as possible for members of the public, and employees to report health and safety matters.</p><p> </p><p>HSE’s Corporate Intelligence System holds data about our interactions with employers and details about any enforcement action taken. We have identified 21 health and safety concerns about UK Courts</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Asbestos</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Other concerns </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>3</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>5</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015/16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>5</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016/17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017/18</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018/19</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>0</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>20</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
