The policy is designed to promote good practice and provide a framework for the effective management of issues relating to employee health and wellbeing.
The intended outcome is to reward loyalty and increase engagement and retention levels in the business by offering a competitive and comparable total reward package to staff.
The purpose of the policy review was to develop an updated and evidence-based corporate policy position which would clearly articulate an updated intent and how this would be achieved, consistent with the obligations of SPS as a public body and as a prison service.
This document is an initial assessment of the impact of The SPS Policy on the Management of Transgender People in Custody. SPS will continue to review and update this document where required.
This policy (and separate operational guidance) has been written for SPS staff and is based on evidence gathered during the review of SPS’s Gender Identity and Gender Reassignment Policy (2014), conducted between 2021 and 2023.
This Policy outlines the SPS position on the use of force by Prison staff, Prisoner Custody Officers and those who come into contact or work in the vacinity of prisoners during the course of their duties within our Prison estate.
