HMP Cardiff: Crimes of Violence
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many assaults occurred at HMP Cardiff when there were fewer staff as a result of staff being sent to cover staff shortages in England in the last 12 months.
- Answer
-
The information requested is not collected.
Detached duty is a regular and normal part of prison resourcing. It allows staff to be allocated from prisons with the capacity to provide them, to those where additional staffing is required to enable the delivery of a safe, decent, secure and predictable regime.
Staffing shortages is not the sole driver of detached duty or indeed the trigger for it to be used. Many establishments have what could be described as staffing shortages or vacancies, but through the use of ‘Regime Management Planning’ these shortages are managed to ensure an acceptable level of regime delivery.
