Prison Officer pay is reviewed annually by the Prison Service Pay Review Body (PSPRB) who consider evidence from a range of parties and make recommendations for Government.

The Government submitted its evidence to the PSPRB on 23rd February 2022.

We expect the PSPRB to report with recommendations for Government in the coming months and the Government will announce the 2022/23 pay award later in the year.
