The Government is determined to ensure that prisons are properly staffed to deliver safety and security and we are on target to recruit 2,500 extra prison officers across the estate. We are committed to supporting staff in the service, and are launching a retention strategy to help Governors ensure experienced staff remain in the service and are supported, alongside the new recruits. Since HMP Berwyn opened in February 2017, the staff turnover, known as leaving rate is provided in the table below. Table 1: Staff leaving rate at HM Prison Berwyn, February to September 2017
