Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 December 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Prison Officers (Work-related Stress).
Prison Officers (Work-related Stress)
Given our concerns about that prison—a Titan prison that will house a larger number of prisoners than any other prison has housed—and given our concerns about the scale of such a prison and the problems that will result from it, I think mindfulness would be an important strategy that should be built in from the beginning.
As I was saying, the health and safety questionnaire was developed in consultation with employers and union representatives. It is now used widely across the public and private sectors and is based on a self-report questionnaire. It is a standard procedure used by academics who in this case established a survey online. They received 1,682 respondents, which is as large as any national opinion poll, and it was a fairly representative sample.
