Prison quarterly ratings
Quarter 4, 2008/09
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for agreeing and publishing performance ratings of prisons as part of the regulatory framework for NOMS Agency. NOMS Agency produces quarterly data driven performance assessments for each establishment. The assurance and publication of prison performance by the department is designed to ensure independence and transparency of the final performance assessments from NOMS Agency.
NOMS Agency produces data driven assessments of performance for prison providers using assessment frameworks that have been agreed with the department. For public prisons this is a combination of the Prison Performance Assessment Tool (PPAT) which assesses around 120 public prisons by looking at performance in 33 indicators, and is then cross checked with a rating produced by assessing against a set of 44 indicators in the public prison weighted scorecard. For private prisons only the PPAT is used to produce the data driven assessment.
There is then opportunity for the ratings to be considered for moderation. A moderation proposal is submitted by NOMS Agency and is a request to adjust the data driven performance rating on the basis of additional non data driven evidence submitted by the Agency. Establishments for which a moderation proposal was considered are marked with an asterisk.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
