Prisons: Sexual Offences
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to help tackle sexual abuse in prisons.
Answered by Jake Richards
His Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) takes sexual harm in prisons very seriously. This year we have created specialist roles to address sexual harm across HMPPS, and we are developing a system-wide approach to prevent all forms of sexual harm in prisons as we implement Jennifer Rademaker’s review of HMPPS Professional Standards.
