Information on the change in the number of full time equivalent band 3 to 5 prison officers in Brixton between 31 May 2010 and 31 March 2015 is shown in the table below.<\/p>

Resettlement prisons operate differently to local prisons and require fewer staff, therefore the staffing requirements in Brixton reduced when it was re-rolled.<\/p> <\/p> Further savings were made when Brixton went through the New Ways of Working staffing model. The staffing levels are in line with a national benchmark for a Category C prison.<\/p> <\/p> All figures in the above table have been rounded to the nearest 10, with numbers ending in 5 rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. As with all HR databases, extracts are taken at a fixed point in time, to ensure consistency of reporting. The database itself is dynamic however, and where updates to the database are made subsequent to the taking of the extract, these updates will not be reflected in figures produced by the extract. For this reason, HR data are unlikely to be precisely accurate, and to present unrounded figures would be to overstate the accuracy of the figures. Rounding to 10 accurately depicts the level of certainty that is held with these figures.<\/p>"}
