The next day @HMP_Humber with @k_tsintsadze to discuss the experiences of ethnic minority prisoners and ways of building better relations with staff. No magic wands but a drive to implement positive change and engaging leadership are key to inclusion for all! #YPG_D&I #ZMT

[Dev Sohanpal @DevSohanpal]

Very productive week in @YorksPrisons! In partnership with @ZMTRUST @k_tsintsadze visited #HMP_Hull for an equalities meeting and prisoner race forum. Both insightful in terms of positive practice and areas we can build on for both staff and prisoners. 1/2
