Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service has plans to develop a new performance management system to ensure it is fully compliant with the Equality Act 2010; and if he will make a statement.

Currently there are no plans to develop a new performance management system in Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service. The current performance management system is a standard policy adopted across government organisations which underwent an equality analysis prior to its implementation.

Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service recognise policies require continuous equalities consideration, and as with any policy, Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service continue to consider equalities with regards to the current performance management policy on an ongoing basis.
