Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which organisations have provided diversity and equality training to prison governors since 1 January 2012.

Equality and diversity training is accessed through the Civil Service Learning (CSL) suite of products. All Prison Governors have access to this learning offer.

Prior to the availability of CSL, up until 31 March 2013 NOMS ran an in-house package for equality training that tackled inappropriate behaviour called ‘Challenge it, Change it’. This was available to all staff including Prison Governors.

Equality and diversity consideration is a component of all business specific learning.
