The Safety in Custody publication is published every quarter, including figures for assaults on staff. The next quarterly publication will be on 30 October 2025. The annual assaults tables include more detailed breakdowns, including the number of assault incidents on prison officers. The annual assaults tables are published in April each year, with the figures for 2025 due to be published on 30 April 2026.

The statistics are available at the following link: Safety in custody statistics - GOV.UK.
