Prison Officers: Dismissal
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prison officers have been dismissed as a result of gross misconduct since July 2024.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
HMPPS publishes data on dismissals related to conduct and disciplinary matters as part of its annual Staff Equalities Report. The collection page can be found here: HMPPS annual staff equalities report - GOV.UK.
The 2024/2025 edition of the report is scheduled for publication on 27 November 2025. It will include total figures for all dismissals arising from conduct and disciplinary cases.
