HMP Wandsworth: Prison Officers

Question for Ministry of Justice

UIN 203693, tabled on 20 October 2023

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what data his Department holds on how many occasions the number of prison officers on shift fell below the minimum staffing level required by Wandsworth Prison’s Regime Management Plan in the last 30 days.

Answered on

Staffing levels continually change, owing to varying levels of requirement at different times of day, and because of a range of other factors. It is not therefore possible continuously to monitor staffing levels, but the information we collect on delivery against the Regime Management Plan indicates that in the 30 days up to 19 October – the most recent data currently available – staffing numbers did not drop below the minimum requirement.
