Recommendation 3
3
Prison staff recruitment and training fall significantly short compared to other public services.
Conclusion
We heard concerns that recruitment and training for prison staff falls significantly short when compared to other public sector services. It is not right that promotions often come without proper training for their new role. This undermines both staff confidence and the quality of prison operations. (Conclusion, Paragraph 33)
