The definitions of concerted indiscipline and assaults are:<\/p>
<\/p>
Concerted indiscipline: <\/strong>the number of incidents in which two or more prisoners act together in defiance of a lawful instruction or against the requirements of the regime of the establishment. The act of indiscipline can be active or passive (i.e. involving aggression and violence or not) and the protagonists do not necessarily need to be acting in a common cause.<\/p> <\/p>
Assaults: <\/strong>refer to unwanted physical contact between two or more individuals, excluding lawful use of force by staff (but including where staff are assaulted during use of force) or anything of a purely verbal or threatening nature.<\/p> <\/p>
Assaults in prison custody cover a wide range of violent incidents including fights between prisoners.<\/p>
<\/p>
Serious assaults are those which involve one or more of the following: a sexual assault, results in detention in outside hospital as an in-patient, requires medical treatment for concussion or internal injuries. It also includes incurring any of the following injuries: a fracture, scald or burn, stabbing, crushing, extensive or multiple bruising, black eye, broken nose, lost or broken tooth, cuts requiring suturing, bites, temporary or permanent blindness.<\/p>
<\/p>
We do not tolerate violence or disruptive behaviour in our prisons. We\u2019ve recruited 4,366 additional officers and are spending an extra £100m, introducing tough airport-style security, x-ray scanners and phone-blocking technology. We are also committed to ensuring our prison officers have the tools they need to do the job safely with body worn cameras, \u2018police-style\u2019 handcuffs and restraints, and PAVA incapacitant spray.<\/p>"}

The information requested is not held.<\/p>
<\/p>
Prison officer numbers are at their highest since March 2012, which is vital to ensuring prisons are safe, secure and decent. We have recruited over 4,700 new prison officers across the country since October 2016 to improve safety and help turn offenders\u2019 lives around. The recruitment drive will continue until we reach required levels across the prison estate, ensuring prisons can fulfil their purpose - protecting the public, reducing reoffending and crucially, rehabilitating offenders.<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of the Offender Management in Custody model (OMiC), Key Worker roles are being introduced to support the rehabilitative culture and relationship between Prison Officers and prisoners.<\/p>"}

Her Majesty\u2019s Prison and Probation Service conduct regular audits of prisons which include examining whether staff employed on adjudication duties are properly trained and competent to carry out these procedures. It also reviews whether or not governors are reviewing the conduct of adjudications to ensure that they are fair, lawful and just, that punishments are normally within locally published guidelines and proportionate, and that no prisoner is charged or punished for any other reason than their disciplinary behaviour.<\/p>
<\/p>
Any deficiencies feature in the audit report and contribute to the overall audit rating for the establishment. Prison Group Directors also use the audit report to monitor any remedial action and challenge poor practice.<\/p>"}
