The number of new officers appointed to work in public sector prisons and youth custody establishments between 1 April 2017 and the 31 March 2019 is published in the Quarterly Workforce Statistics for HM Prison and Probation Service at table 8a -https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hm-prison-and-probation-service-workforce-quarterly-march-2019<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

Additional funding of £106m was announced by the Secretary of State on 3 November 2016, for an additional 2,500 prison officer posts, which have now been filled. With growth, the £100m equates to £112m for the 2019/20 financial year, £97m of which is for public sector prisons.<\/p>

Responsibility for education in adult prisons in England transferred from the Department for Education to the Ministry of Justice on 1 October 2016. Prior to that, prison education was managed and delivered by the Offender Learning and Skills Service (OLASS) under contracts held by the Skills Funding Agency.<\/p>

<\/p>

From 2016, revised OLASS arrangements placed responsibility on the OLASS contractor to ensure that competent and appropriately qualified staff were in place to deliver and assess learning delivered.<\/p>

<\/p>

New education delivery contracts in England are now in place: these were procured in succession to the OLASS arrangements that expired at the end of March. The new contracts require that all suppliers must operate a range of human resource and supplier personnel development arrangements that focus on establishing and maintaining a cadre of high-quality personnel capable of delivering an outstanding service<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4517", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lucy Frazer"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South East Cambridgeshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lucy Frazer"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-07-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-07-31T15:41:53.7Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-07-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisons: Teachers"} , "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 estimate his Department has made of the cumulative years experience of teachers working in prisons in (a) 2010 (b) 2015 and (c) 2018.", "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" : "279091"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1140162", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1140162/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Information on how many Recorders have sat to hear cases in each year has only been held centrally since 2017/18. The below table, however, sets out the number of Recorders in post at 1st<\/sup> April of each year since 2010. We expect Recorders in post to have been offered the opportunity to sit.<\/p>

Some Recorders hold more than one judicial appointment. In such cases, the appointment that the judicial office holder undertakes for the majority of their time is known as their primary appointment. In order to avoid double counting of judges, this table shows figures for primary appointments only and as such will not count judges whose appointment as a Recorder is not their primary appointment.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Figures are from the published Judicial Diversity Statistics which can be found here: https://www.judiciary.uk/publication-type/statistics/<\/a><\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Recorders sit mainly in the Crown, County and Family Courts. Figures on court sitting days are published on Gov.uk and the latest information covering 2018 is available here.
