PSPRB Publication Scheme
PUBLICATION SCHEME FOR THE PRISON SERVICE PAY REVIEW BODY
Purpose of the Prison Service Pay Review Body
The formation of the sixth and newest Pay Review Body, the PSPRB, was announced in February 2001. Similar to review bodies for other groups - such as the armed forces, doctors and dentists, school teachers - the PSPRB is made up of a number of individuals who have senior-level experience of handling pay and other matters, both in the private and public sectors. The Review Body is independent of Government, the Prison Service and the staff associations.
The task of the PSPRB is to provide independent advice on the remuneration of governing governors and operational managers, prison officers and support grades in the England and Wales Prison Service.
The Terms of Reference also make provision for the Review Body to provide advice on the remuneration of prison governors, prison officers, prison auxiliaries and night patrol officers in the Northern Ireland Prison Service.
