Retention support is being provided at Feltham A and Cookham Wood to address attrition. As part of the HMPPS retention oversight process, all establishments have a Retention Action Plan in place. These plans focus improvement on areas identified by staff in exit interviews, when asked to explain their decision to leave the Youth Custody Service (YCS). Additionally, in response to exit interview data, the YCS has reviewed advertising and recruitment material, to increase attraction.</p><p>We have increased national recruitment of Prison Officers and Youth Justice staff through a dedicated national campaign and new marketing and are engaged in national campaigns to increase attraction to administrative roles.</p><p>To further increase retention levels and reduce vacancies, the YCS has commissioned a staffing resource review across all four public sector YOIs. This includes assessing the balance of management and frontline staff. Feltham A has been completed and a delivery plan will be implemented this Spring (impacts will be closely evaluated). Cookham Wood YOI will be the next site subject to review commencing in early 2024, followed by the remaining public YOIs.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 05/02/2024 09:12:02 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2023 answer text <p>The leaving rates of staff who work in prisons currently part of the Youth Custody Service are given in the table below.</p><p>We are looking into the increase in attrition via the retention oversight and exit interview processes so that appropriate interventions can be put in place. The retention oversight process was introduced in August 2022 to target priority sites, these include establishments with the highest attrition rates and those that are a cause for concern due to increasing attrition.</p><p>In late 2021, HM Prison Service launched a retention tool kit to help Governors to tackle the main drivers of attrition in their prisons. We are using the data from this and enhanced exit interviews to better understand why employees are leaving.</p><p>HM Prison Service made a significant investment in pay for prison staff through the 2023/24 pay awards. This delivered an increase in base pay of at least 4% for all staff between bands 2 to 11, alongside further targeted pay rises for our lowest paid staff of up to £2,500 which we hope will help in reducing leaving rates.</p><p>Since April 2022, HM Prison Service have invested in several new initiatives to improve the experience of our new joiners and increase retention of our employees. These include a new peer-to-peer learning scheme, the introduction of mentors for new staff, a supervision pilot in two prisons, and new leadership training in prisons facing retention challenges.</p><p><strong>Table 1: Underlying leaving rate of permanent staff in Youth Custody Estate, for 12 months to 31 March each year since 2010, and latest position as at 30 September 2023 </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>12 Months to</p></td><td><p>Leavers</p></td><td><p>Average staff in post</p></td><td><p>Leaving rate</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2010</p></td><td><p>74</p></td><td><p>1,510</p></td><td><p>4.9%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2011</p></td><td><p>80</p></td><td><p>1,505</p></td><td><p>5.3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2012</p></td><td><p>68</p></td><td><p>1,505</p></td><td><p>4.5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2013</p></td><td><p>101</p></td><td><p>1,451</p></td><td><p>7.0%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2014</p></td><td><p>111</p></td><td><p>1,351</p></td><td><p>8.2%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2015</p></td><td><p>139</p></td><td><p>1,253</p></td><td><p>11.1%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2016</p></td><td><p>134</p></td><td><p>1,266</p></td><td><p>10.6%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2017</p></td><td><p>146</p></td><td><p>1,333</p></td><td><p>11.0%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2018</p></td><td><p>148</p></td><td><p>1,416</p></td><td><p>10.5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2019</p></td><td><p>158</p></td><td><p>1,684</p></td><td><p>9.4%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2020</p></td><td><p>198</p></td><td><p>1,730</p></td><td><p>11.4%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2021</p></td><td><p>121</p></td><td><p>1,558</p></td><td><p>7.8%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2022</p></td><td><p>196</p></td><td><p>1,604</p></td><td><p>12.2%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31/03/2023</p></td><td><p>275</p></td><td><p>1,621</p></td><td><p>17.0%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>30/09/2023(p)</p></td><td><p>294</p></td><td><p>1,645</p></td><td><p>17.9%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Notes</p><p>1.

In October last year, together with a number of leading football organisations, it launched the Twinning Project, in which 40 English Football League and Premier League clubs are working together with prison establishments to help reduce re-offending. The form this work will take will vary depending on the needs of the establishment and the club, but will range from professional coaching qualifications to refereeing and employability skills.
