Good news from our pub The Partridge in Warrington. Half of the kitchen team are colleagues who are still serving their sentences at HMP Thorn Cross. By gaining skills while still in custody, we can help them get great jobs when they finally go home.

Our Community Payback team, working in a churchyard in Handsworth, Birmingham, uncovered 6 graves of soldiers killed in action during the Great War, now under care of the War Graves Commission. An outstanding example of CP in action. #hiddenheroes @dgprobwales @hmpps

Deeply concerning. As we build a serious violence duty we need accountability to fall not just on crime data but addressing underpinning issues that create disadvantage. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

Research in Practice for Adults (RiPfA) has a Coercive Control website for social workers and other health and social care practitioners to develop their knowledge and skills in working with situations of #coercivecontrol. crowd.in/GvCCJu
It’s great to hear many companies are so desperate to recruit they are now looking towards our prisons for talent. We’ve been doing this for years, even when we had very few vacancies, as it’s a good way of finding amazing people.

I want the public to see more of the unpaid work offenders are sentenced to, so it was great to see it myself today at All Saints Church in London with the Probation Service @hmpps

Good to speak to the HMPPS RISE network today about HMIP’s plans on diversity and race equality, including our new shadowing scheme for black and Asian probation and YOT staff interested in becoming inspectors with us. More details on our new careers page justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/…

Our Prison and Probation officers are among our most dedicated and exceptional public servants - having to handle everyday complexities and crises that others can barely imagine - we owe them a huge debt of gratitude and admiration #HiddenHeroes @ButlerTrust

Our love of films afforded us the privilege of Chadwick Boseman. A cultural super hero & icon for the black community. A role model & inspiration to so many children and adults around the world. He reminded us of a history of black royalty & hope for a better world. RestInPower🖤
