As previously stated in Parliamentary Question 236498, there is an extensive training programme for Prison Offender Managers which is a blended delivery approach of workbooks, e-learning and face to face learning.

Since April 2017 the total number of e-learning completed alongside face to face training on the below topics are as follows:

  • Child safeguarding and domestic abuse – 2661
  • Adult safeguarding – 2686

The below two topics are not delivered by e-learning, these are delivered face to face including a workbook:

  • Core concepts and key skills
