To qualify for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal staff must be in an eligible operational role in the public-sector prison service on 6 February 2022 and have completed 5 years operational service. The eligibility criteria does allow for operational public-sector service to be aggregated, which means that operational staff who have moved to a private-sector prison or a non-operational role for a period during their career, can include any previous operational public-sector service and aggregate it with service accumulated since they returned to their operational public-sector role.
