CIRC 036: PULSE SURVEY ON SAFETY

HMPPS have informed the National Executive Committee that they are preparing to launch their next Pulse Survey, which will focus on Safety. They have indicated that they intend to launch this Pulse Survey on Monday 20th April 2026.

May we remind you of POA Policy regarding any surveys run by the employer which is;

Annual Conference Motion 67/22

That Conference reaffirms current policy as set out in ACM 42/10 and continues not to engage in any staff survey conducted by the employer due to the attitude of HMPPS and the political spin placed on outcomes. Furthermore, this Union continues with the policy of non-participation in any future HMPPS surveys and instead conducts its own survey to act as a direct contrast.

Please bring this Circular to the attention of all members.

 

Thank you for your anticipated support.

 

Yours Sincerely 

Steve Gillan
General Secretary                                               

 

Yours Sincerely
