Some 26 of the 36 non-discipline staff without prisoner contact stated that their role was ‘administration’. All six of the Senior Managers in the sample were male. Four participants stated that their ethnicity was Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME). Roughly two thirds of the participants (68.8%) stated that Highpoint was the only prison they had worked in. The average length of time working at Highpoint was 10.6 years and 50.6% of participants stated they had worked at the prison for ten years or more. This is in comparison to the average length of time spent at one prison of 7.9 years (taken from the survey samples of the 33 other training establishments surveyed so far). SMT members had the longest average length of service at Highpoint (13.4 years). 8. Comparison to Previous Survey 8.1 Figure 2 shows the prison’s dimension scores (blue) for discipline staff members at Highpoint against the scores from the previous survey in March 2014 (pink). Figure 2 illustrates dimension scores with lines joining the data scores. The lines are just to indicate which scores belong to the same sample or sub sample. Hence the lines should not be taken to imply any relationship from one dimension to the next. 8.2 The grid below indicates whether current scores for discipline staff increased (green) or decreased (red) to an extent that was notable from the previous survey, or otherwise did not change.
