Annual performance ratings of prison establishments in England and Wales.
Documents
Details
The Annual Prison Performance Ratings are published to ensure transparency of the final performance assessments of both public sector and privately-managed prisons across England and Wales.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on prison delivery during the year and impact on data reliability, a data-informed, rather than data-driven, assessment took place in 2021/22 to identify the rating for each prison. A two-tier rating system is used for 2021/22 performance ratings, where prisons have been rated as either having:
- Performance is at least acceptable in the circumstances of COVID-19
- Performance is of concern in the circumstances of COVID-19
This publication covers reporting for the period between the 1 April 2021 and the 31 March 2022.
