Recommendation 17
17
Specialised training for prison officers on remand prisoners' needs is lacking.
Conclusion
We recognise the difficulties HMPPS faces surrounding the recruitment and retention of prison staff. This is an issue we intend to explore in more depth in our prison workforce inquiry. Evidence to this inquiry has highlighted how working with remanded prisoners can pose particular challenges for prison officers. Prison officers must be given specialised training on the particular needs of remand prisoners and how to engage them in a prison regime.
