Prison Officers: Training
(asked on 25th October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many band 3 prison officers have (a) commenced and (b) completed the training on safety in custody announced in February 2017.
This question was answered on 30th October 2018
By the end of June 2018 over 17,000 prison staff (of all grades) had begun the training and over 6,000 had completed all six modules.
Regrettably, we are not able to provide the corresponding figures for band 3 prison officers, because our electronic recording system is not currently accessible while planned improvements are being made. I will write to the Hon Member as soon as these figures become available.
