Prisons: Education
(asked on 2nd March 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of prison education staff have been made redundant in each of the past 12 months.
This question was answered on 9th March 2026
The Ministry of Justice and HM Prison and Probation Service are committed to ensuring that prisoners can access high-quality education and skills provision that supports rehabilitation and reduces re-offending.
The contract does not require Education suppliers to provide routine information about redundancies, and as the majority of teaching staff are employed by external providers, it is not possible to provide the information requested.
