Staff Exclusions on the basis of allegations of inappropriate behaviour

The request was partially successful.

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
