Information on the number of staff within the MoJ and NOMS who have been suspended from duty each month is set out in the tables below. Information prior to February 2011 is not available as this data was not recorded centrally.

Suspension is not a disciplinary sanction or a sign of guilt, but is used to progress an investigation smoothly or to protect the health and safety of those involved.
