I am sure you are all aware of the leaks at the weekend in the media regarding the pay review bodies for Education and NHS workers and the speculation around what has been recommended for those workers.
Pay Review Body
CIRC 046: PAY REVIEW BODY 2020, JUDICIAL REVIEW APPLICATION
On 7 April 2022 the Court of Appeal refused the POA permission to appeal against a judgment dismissing a judicial review application.

The POA Pay Submission can now be officially sent out as the other parties involved have now shared their documents.
CIRC 017: POA PAY SUBMISSION – COSTINGS ERROR
The POA have informed the PSPRB of an error in the calculations of costings by grade within our 2023 Pay Claim Submission.
CIRC 016: POA PAY SUBMISSION
All submissions have been given to the PSPRB, as you know the POA submitted our written evidence within the timeframes as specified unfortunately HMPPS did not adhere to the deadline.
CIRC 59: PAY AWARD 2022/23 ENGLAND AND WALES
The National Executive Committee have now had time to examine and fully understand what is contained within the PSPRB report on the remit group that the POA represent.
PR 236: PAY CUT TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR PRISON OFFICER GRADES
Prison Officers who protected the general public during the pandemic and put their own lives at risk on average are getting a 4 per cent pay rise which is not even half of the rate of inflation.
CIRC 053: PAY CUT TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR PRISON OFFICER GRADES
The Government announced the outcome of the Pay Review Body recommendations including the PSPRB. The link to the recommendations that Government have accepted is as follows https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/psprb-twenty-first-report-on-england-and-wales-2022
CIRC 046: PAY REVIEW BODY RECOMMENDATIONS
Please find attached letters that are self-explanatory. I know that Government is in disarray but the delay to the announcement on pay for Prison Officer Grades and OSGs is totally unacceptable.
