We do not underestimate the challenges faced by all staff working in prisons and continue to support our staff to help them maintain safe, decent and secure prisons. Standards of Health and Safety for prison staff are actively monitored, considered and acted upon on an ongoing basis. It is important to recognise that the health and safety of prison staff is closely influenced by the arrangements in place to manage the security, safety, conditions, behaviour and experience of prisoners in those same communities. Most recently, assessments relating to the risk of violence, fire safety, secondary impacts of drug misuse, staff wellbeing, infection and pandemic control and facilities are driving a range of improvement measures and activities that will influence prison staff\u2019s experience of health and safety at their workplaces.<\/p>
<\/p>
In support of staff safety, we are now rolling out the use of PAVA spray and police style rigid bar handcuffs, which is in addition to other measures such as the increased staffing numbers and investment in drug and mobile phone detection should improve health and safety conditions in prisons.<\/p>

My Department is working closely with local government, key sector representatives and with other Government Departments including Health, Education, Housing, Communities and Local Government to consider potential national or local impacts, which may arise from EU Exit, and the necessary preparations for a wide range of scenarios.<\/p> This government has been clear that we do not want or expect a \u2018no deal\u2019 scenario. The UK and the EU have agreed the terms of the UK\u2019s smooth and orderly exit from the EU in the form of the Withdrawal Agreement, and a detailed political declaration on the terms of our future relationship. Nevertheless, the government will continue to do the responsible thing and prepare for all eventualities. Extensive work to prepare for a no deal scenario has been under way for over two years and we are taking necessary steps to ensure the country continues to operate smoothly from the day we leave.<\/p> Since the referendum, DExEU Ministers have made frequent visits to regions across the country, including to the West Midlands, and are committed to continuing this productive engagement with businesses and local government throughout the UK.<\/p> The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government are leading an extensive programme of engagement, listening to the sector and gathering intelligence on council concerns and preparedness, which has included discussions with Chief Executives from Coventry City Council, and Solihull Council.<\/p> Senior policy officials have engaged with local authority representatives from throughout the West Midlands, through various forums, including a regional event in Birmingham on 13 December. Representatives from Coventry and the West Midlands are also key contributors to the Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government\u2019s EU Exit Advisory Panel.<\/p> This extensive programme of engagement is replicated throughout England, enabling the Government to assess and support local authority preparedness and to discuss and address the issues and opportunities of EU Exit.<\/p> <\/p>"}
