At any one time the Prison Service has a number of trainee psychologists employed. Trainee psychologists leave their training and/or employment with the Prison Service for a variety of reasons. This may be linked to experiencing difficulties with the training route, choosing an alternative career, changing employers or requiring a career break for domestic reasons.
This table provides information on the number of individual trainee psychologists who have left the public sector Prison Service or National Offender Management Service headquarters over the required time period. It does not record those who may have left contracted prison sites.
