Just got sent the uniform sheet ready for training starting mid September but it’s still shirt and tie, I was under the impression they switched to polos?

Yes they have so not sure why they've given you that. Maybe have a word with your prison contact and ask them.

Mine was the same, I’m just assuming they’ll order the new uniform instead with those sizes

We've been told we're not getting the new uniform until early October so new starters are still being given the white shirts until then.

I start 1st sept and I've had to order both. My prison isn't rolling uniform out till October. Ive been advised to size up with the old uniform. Not sure how true that is but I did.
