Providers are not contractually obliged to supply data relating to the length of service of their employees. Responsibility for all staffing matters, including ensuring provision of sufficiently-trained and experienced staff to maintain safe and decent prisons, lies with the contractors. Regular recruitment and training of staff takes place across privately-managed prisons and we continue to monitor the performance of all providers closely.
