Increasing SOP registration of Vaccination Status (22.10.21)
The HMPPS Vaccination Team recently completed a piece of work which looked into how establishments could improve the number of staff completing their vaccination status on SOP. They have now produced a best practice document with the help of HMP Nottingham to assist establishments going forward. As a result of their work HMP Nottingham have been very successful in engaging staff and have seen results which are well above the overall establishment averages. The below document sets out the steps taken and can be used as a guide for other establishments.
New Local Covid -19 Staff Vaccination Report (20.08.21)
We understand that staff vaccination reporting on SOP is not currently giving us an accurate picture of staff vaccination coverage across the estate. With this in mind we have worked with HR services to develop a report that Hub Mangers can access for their establishment which identifies if any information has been entered onto SOP regarding vaccination status. A list can then be produced of all staff with no information entered which can be passed to line mangers and may assist in prompting conversations with these staff members and improving reporting. In-line with data privacy this report will only provide an overview of all directly employed PSP staff and whether each member of staff has reported their vaccination on SOP.
The new report is called: HR WF87 – Local Staff Covid-19 Vaccination
We are hopeful that this report will enable prisons to bridge the gap between the number of staff vaccinated and those registration on SOP.
