Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the resignation rate for (a) Band 3, (b) Band 4, and (c) Band 5 prison officers was at each prison in each of the last five years.
The attached table provides the nationally compiled resignation statistics for staff at Band 3, 4 and 5 since 2015.
Resignation rates by prison by individual grade is not published.
We have recruited a huge number of prison officers with some 4,200 more on the landings than three years ago.
Annual fluctuations are expected, but we work hard to retain our staff – giving them the biggest pay rise in a decade, additional training, tools like PAVA and body-worn cameras to make their jobs safer.
