Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the Answer of 28 March 2022 to Question 144981, Prisons: Labour Turnover, what the leaving rates for (a) Band 2, and (b) Band 3 to 4 operational prison staff are in each of the past five years, broken down by region.

Leaving Rates by Grade are given in the HMPPS Workforce Bulletin – latest version is here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/her-majestys-prison-and-probation-service-workforce-quarterly-december-2021.

Information on leaving rates by grades is published in Table 11. Information on leaving rates by region is published in table 10, however this is only for “main” grades (band 3-5 officers, OSG, probation officers).
