The National Executive Committee are asking all POA members within public sector prisons in England and Wales to refuse to participate in the Annual Staff Survey and instead fill in this bespoke POA survey that asks the questions HMPPS are refusing to ask.

It is totally anonymous. The only details we ask you to divulge are your rank and Job Title and the Prison you work at.

We will publish the same survey for members working in Scotland, Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man, Secure Psychiatric Services and the Private Sector at a later date.

Your co-operation is appreciated.

Your Consent

This survey is being conducted by The POA National Executive Committee. The purpose of this survey is to explore the challenges POA members have encountered during the past 12 months while working as a prison officer or related grade in England and Wales. Your participation in this online survey is confidential and voluntary. Depending upon the depth of your responses, this survey should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. Your data will be stored securely . Your participation in this survey will help the POA formulate evidence to the Pay Review Body in order to facilitate enhanced pay awards whilst challenging HMPPS to improve your health, wellbeing and working conditions. We also intend to publish the results and share with media outlets.
