Prison Officers: Codes of Practice
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what guidance his Department issues to ensure prison officers follow the civil service code.
Answered by Jake Richards
The requirement to adhere to the Civil Service Code is set out in all HMPPS employee's employment contracts. In HMPPS, these standards are reinforced through the Outside Activities and the Conduct and Discipline policies, which set behavioural expectations and how any breaches are handled.
