@RCGPSecureEnvi1 I can honestly say a face to face conference and re connecting with so many wonderful colleagues has been good for my soul! @JakeHard1@CIJWatson
Super proud of our 3 tiny volunteers collecting @wokingfc for victims of domestic abuse today on behalf of @ABBMFoundation@yourSanctuaryUK link in the thread below if you want to donate!

Good news. Now our shops are all open we are recruiting again, so if you know of anyone with a criminal conviction, who has an amazing personality and is looking for work, please contact @darrenburns60 so we can sort an interview out.

And now - drumroll - we come to the final vote. Remember, beforehand the vote was 60% for, 24% against. Having heard the arguments our audience of 284 voted 46% for, 47% against - well done @chantaledge + @billfriedbayley #RCPsychForensic21
We’re working with Prison Radio 📻 on a new wellbeing show, exploring the impact of lockdown to people in prison. If you experienced prison during the pandemic and interested in being involved, we’d love to connect with you, please DM for details. Thanks 😊
