	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 attachment 1 file name Copy of PQ 247719-20 Imran Hussain MP table 1 weapons.xlsx title Table 1 2 file name Copy of PQ 247719-20 Imran Hussain MP table 2 serious injuries.xlsx title Table 2 3 file name Copy of PQ 247719-20 Imran Hussain MP table 3 minor injuries.xlsx title Table 3 question first answered 28/06/2019 15:17:52 question first ministerially corrected 03/07/2019 12:20:42 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland previous answer version 125923 answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
