CIRC 050: HMPPS WELLBEING SURVEY 2026 AND ANNUAL CONFERENCE MOTION 67/2022

On 22nd June 2026 HMPPS will launch its Wellbeing Survey, and it will remain open for three weeks. The survey will explore issues such as Health, Security, Environment, Relationships, Purpose, and Support Services.

POA Members are reminded of Annual Conference Motion 67/2022 which stated;

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.

The Motion was carried and is still Policy of the POA. It is important to note the wording of the Motion and the fact that it states ‘any future HMPPS surveys’ which includes Wellbeing Surveys. Members are therefore instructed not to participate in the forthcoming Wellbeing Survey, and to comply with POA Policy.

Thank you for your anticipated support.

Yours sincerely

MICK PIMBLETT
Deputy General Secretary
