The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prison officers have (a) been recruited and (b) left their roles since 2014.

Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin

The quarterly HMPPS workforce statistics publication covers staffing information, including number of staff in post as well as the number of joiners and leavers, by different grades and structure etc.

The number of HMPPS joiners and leavers by grade is publicly available in table 8 of the HMPPS Workforce Statistics publication which can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-offender-management-service-workforce-statistics.

Once you have chosen your respective quarterly report, navigate to HMPPS Workforce Statistics Bulletin: **** tables, tab 8 will provide you with table 8 information.
