answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2018 answer text <p>The causes of violence in prison are complex, but we know that the skills and availability of staff play a critical role in maintaining order. We have invested in over 3,000 additional staff in order to deliver consistent, purposeful regimes, and providing training to both new and existing staff to equip them to take on the new key worker role, in which they will provide more effective challenge and support to prisoners.</p><p> </p><p>Our prison staff work incredibly hard and we are under no illusions about the challenges they face. We are taking urgent action to make prisons safer, and assaults on our staff will never be tolerated. That is why we are working with the Police and Crown Prosecution Service to ensure successful prosecutions of those who assault them. It is also why the Government supported the recently passed Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act, which increases sentences for those who attack emergency workers, including prison officers.</p><p> </p><p>We are taking further measures to protect our staff, including investing in 5,600 body-worn cameras and in rigid-bar handcuffs. Early next year we will begin to equip every prison officer in the adult male prison estate with PAVA incapacitant spray. PAVA can help to prevent serious harm to staff and prisoners alike, as well as being a tool to persuade prisoners in the act of violence to stop. It will be deployed only in prisons that have rolled out key workers, and in which staff have been properly trained.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 25/10/2018 13:15:26 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
