To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of HMP Norwich’s Employment Advisory Board in developing links with private sector employers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of HMP Norwich’s Employment Advisory Board in developing links with private sector employers.
We know that employment reduces the chance of reoffending significantly, by up to nine percentage points. The Boards are part of our plans to improve prison leavers’ employment outcomes and build stronger links with employers.
I am grateful to James Timpson for his support in setting up the Boards, as well as to business leaders from household names such as Lotus Cars at HMP Norwich, Greggs at HMP Kirklevington Grange and TalkTalk at HMP Thorn Cross for stepping up to the challenge of chairing them.
I understand that the Board at HMP Norwich has brought new employer partnerships to the prison and supported events such as an employer’s open day for employers and prisoners, as well as providing valuable links with the Chamber of Commerce and the High Sherriff, who attend the Board’s meetings.

We are investing £3.8bn over the next three years to deliver 20,000 additional prison place by the mid 2020s. We are on track to deliver these places which include the refurbishments HMP Liverpool and HMP Birmingham and the new houseblock at HMP Norwich.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the findings of Norwich Coroner’s Court in relation to the death of David Sparrow at HMP Norwich.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the findings of Norwich Coroner’s Court in relation to the death of David Sparrow at HMP Norwich.
The safety of those in our care is our absolute priority, and every death in custody is a tragedy. My condolences are with the family and friends of Mr Sparrow.
Mr Sparrow’s death was the subject of an independent investigation by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, and an inquest at Norwich Coroner’s Court that has recently concluded. We are committed to learning from such investigations and using their conclusions to inform our work to reduce the number of deaths in custody. We accepted and acted upon the eight recommendations of the PPO investigation into Mr Sparrow’s death, and we are carefully considering the findings of the inquest. We understand that the Coroner may send a prevention of future deaths report, and if such a report is received we will consider the matters of concern raised in it and respond within the statutory time limit.
Norwich prison, like all prisons in the system, is being challenged by new psychoactive substances, which are causing behavioural problems that add to potential aggression on the part of prisoners. These are being actively promoted by organised crime. We are addressing that, both by the provision of improved health and detoxification methods in prisons, and by active intelligence work to disrupt the supply of drugs into prisons, because rolling up those supply chains is what gives us the real opportunity to crack down on drugs.

Is the Secretary of State aware that there remains a serious illegal drugs problem in Norwich and Wayland prisons? Many Ministers talk about creating drugs-free prisons, but when is that going to become a reality in Norfolk? I would like the Secretary of State to answer, please.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they have taken in the light of the report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons on Norwich prison that A wing of the prison was “not safe” and staffing levels were “completely inadequate”.[HL5442]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they have taken in the light of the report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons on Norwich prison that A wing of the prison was “not safe” and staffing levels were “completely inadequate”.[HL5442]
Action has been and is being taken to improve safety on A Wing at HMP Norwich. HMP Norwich now has extra staff from HMP Blundeston (following this prison’s closure), so the prison is now fully staffed. This has allowed HMP Norwich to improve the supervision of prisoners and deal more effectively
with incidents of violence and anti-social behaviour. A Wing staff have a particularly challenging role as they are responsible for caring for a diverse population of prisoners, and additional managers have now been placed onto this unit to support front line work. This will result in significant improvement in the care of new arrivals at the prison and those taking part in substance misuse interventions.
The new Safer Custody Manager and the Head of Residence and Safety at HMP Norwich are working closely with their teams and partner agency to improve safety, care and decency within the prison. Particular focus is being given to the effective identification and support of prisoners that are at risk of harming themselves. This includes a determined management push to improve the quality of ACCT (Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork) care plans and management.
The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) is comprehensively reviewing how we manage violence in prisons with a view to introducing further improvements to ensure prisons are safer places for everyone. This will provide Governors with the tools to create safer prison environments and to help reduce re-offending.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what changes they have made to HMP Norwich in the light of the conclusions of HM Chief Inspector of Prisons on 29 January that A Wing was not safe and that the issues needed to be addressed as a matter of urgency. [HL5092]
