HM Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) is committed to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of its staff, with all staff having access to a comprehensive occupational health service and employee assistance programme.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMPPS continuously monitors and re-assesses the support and interventions in place for staff. To this end HMPPS changed its delivery model for employee assistance services (EAP) and the new EAP model has significantly enhanced and changed access to the help and support previously available to HMPPS staff and includes specialist Trauma Support and a manager\u2019s helpline amongst other services. The model also enables staff to self-refer for counselling by calling the 24 hour helpline in complete confidentiality.<\/p>

The Government set out its response to the consultation \u2018Strengthening probation, building confidence\u2019 on the 16th May 2019.<\/p>

This consultation response confirmed that we intend to bring the supervision of medium and low risk offenders, currently supervised by the Community Rehabilitation Company, into the National Probation Service across England and Wales. Recognising the unique delivery landscape in Wales, we are seeking to achieve this by the end of 2019 so that advice to court, risk and need assessments, sentence planning and managing enforcement and recall will all sit within a single organisation.<\/p>

Responsibility for delivering unpaid work, running accredited programmes, and provision of \u201cThrough-The-Gate\u201d resettlement services will remain with the Community Rehabilitation Company until the end of the current contract. A competitive procurement process will be run over the coming months to re-procure delivery of these services once the current contracts end<\/p>

A number of market engagement events have been held in Wales to help inform the design of the future services and the procurement process. We are keen to work with a range of providers including both the private and voluntary sector. Work is ongoing to finalise the competitive process for procuring unpaid work, accredited programmes and resettlement services and we aim to have new contracts signed by the end of 2020.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "252668"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-17T13:10:41.703Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Probation: Wales"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which services currently managed by community rehabilitation services will be run by the National Probation Service under the new model of probation proposed for Wales.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4493", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Richard Burgon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leeds East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Richard Burgon"} ], "uin" : "252667"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1125778", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1125778/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Detached Duty (DD) is one of the sensible and proportionate measures we take to ensure we run safe and decent regimes in prisons and respond appropriately to any operational issues that arise. The deployment of staff between prisons on DD is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing; the number of Prison Officers deployed on DD varies from one week to the next in order to reflect operational circumstances.<\/p>

<\/p>

Annex A attached shows the number [and cycle] of staff deployed to the six of the prisons in the 10 prisons project (Isis, Hull, Moorland, Nottingham, Ranby and Wormwood Scrubs) for a period since 2015. Detached Duty is allocated on a cycle (4 week average) rather than on a month by month basis.<\/p>

The 10 prisons in the 10 Prisons Project were selected across three regions in the prison estate as some of our most challenging establishments, particularly in respect of drugs and violence. We are working closely with them to understand how adaptable different approaches are to types of different prison environment so that we can share best practice and seek to replicate elsewhere what works.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-17T11:44:36.32Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisoners"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average number of hours out of cell was for each prisoner in each prison in the 10 prisons project in each month since 2015.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4493", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Richard Burgon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leeds East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Richard Burgon"} ], "uin" : "252672"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1125784", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1125784/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Prison officer transfers are an important part of our approach to flexibly managing the workforce and enabling the sharing of best practice.<\/p>

<\/p>

Several Band 3-5 prison officers have transferred in and out of the 10 prisons since August 2018. A breakdown of transfers in each of the 10 prisons is provided in the table below.<\/p>

In addition, as part of the 10 Prisons Project, we are piloting the new Standards Coaching Team initiative, in which experienced officers from across the estate are being temporarily transferred to the 10 prisons to provide coaching and support to new recruits.<\/p>
