Details
This year’s report contains the annual prison performance ratings for 2022/23 calculated using data from the prison performance framework covering 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.
This publication of the Annual Prison Performance Ratings used the Prison Performance Tool Dashboard (PPTD) to assess performance in each prison. The PPTD used a data driven assessment to determine prisons ratings as below:
4: Outstanding performance
3: Good performance
2: Performance of concern
1: Performance of serious concern
This is the first time since 2019/20 that a fully data driven approach was used to calculate the overall prison performance ratings with performance reporting suspended in 2020/21 and a data informed approach used in 2021/22. As such much focus has been given to comparisons to 2019/20.
