Staff Exclusions on the basis of allegations of inappropriate behaviour

JCMac made this Freedom of Information request to HM Prison Service

The request was partially successful.

From: JCMac

17 November 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to make a request under the Freedom of Information
Act. Please could you provide me with the following information:-

Over the past two years - How many female prison officers and
female education staff have been excluded from prisons across
England and Wales pending an investigation into allegations of
inappropriate behaviour please?

How many of those exclusions were later lifted and and how many
went on to become permanent exclusions by the governor on site?

Comparatively then how many male staff members and teachers were
excluded pending investigations into allegations of inappropriate
conduct over the same two year period?

How many prison officers were investigated by prison management
over the past two years for sexual misconduct or inappropriate
behaviour with a prisoner across England and Wales ?

How many allegations of sexual abuse were made by prisoners within
HMP system over the last two years? How many of those allegations
were unfounded? How many of those allegations were proven as a
result of internal investigations?

Many thanks for your clarification in this matter

Yours faithfully,

J. McCarthy
