the UK's private prisons There are 13 private prisons in the UK, holding 15 per cent of the prison population – a worldwide record, beating even the USA, where private prisons account for nine per cent of prisoners.
Yes mate , email asked if i want to book one , when i called they just said we will do it one day one, as there are 6 of us in total ( 2 officers, 2 OSGs and 2 admin )
Im sure with the apprenticeship you still do the 8 week poelt then you go live in establishment. You just continue doing the apprenticeship for your probation period. Seem pointless tbh as not like you can take a custodial care qualification anywhere else in a few years time lol
Eeek.. so what is the point in the 8 week training? Wouldnt you be better of training in your establishment and shaddowing, and just going to the odd classroom day?
Training goes out the window and you got to start again when you go live to learn your establishments way of working. Staff are awesome to the newbies and help you along
Twilight I could imagine you are always learning. Do new staff get treated/expected of them exactly the same as longer serving staff? Or is there a bit of leeway knowing that you have only just come out of training?
Falkor, can I ask who is moderating on this forum? We have a few new members who cant seem to grasp the rules about quoting the previous comment, which makes the threads difficult to read. Myself, bearguy and one other I beleive have pulled them up on it.
