Good news for once! Alan Turing featured in the #LGBT #Pride event at #HMPElmley. Fantastic that his hard work, his dedication and legacy is being celebrated in such an honourable way. Well done @bankofengland ! https://t.co/YIlq5U6DaE

Thanks to @foryoubyyou for visiting Elmley today. Excellent charity, want all staff to be aware of the AMAZING work they do for Civil Servants - both whilst in service and once they’ve left. Check out their website for more info: https://t.co/5YniWlzmyG. Solidarity to all.

Elmley Member Drew McLennan spoke about his experiences as a prison officer and violence he has faced; representing the branch members really well! Well done to everyone who spoke today with passion about their experiences. Solidarity! #SafeInside #68istoolate

[National Chair POA @POAnatchair]

So proud to represent these amazing people. The launch of the #SafeInside initiative. ⁦@POAUnion⁩ members relaying their harrowing accounts of their assaults at work.
#wecanandwewill make our prisons safe.

[POA Elmley Branch @ElmleyPoa]

Today, @POAUnion launched the #SafeInside initiative with other unions representing prison staff. Record high levels of violence across the prison estate, a retirement age of 68...Enough is enough! It’s time Prison Staff were given the tools to do their job safely. #68istoolate

[Thomas Arthur Nundy @thomasnundyMPC]

Solidarity to @POAUnion members today. I’m up at #housesofparliament to meet MPs and discuss shocking levels of violence in jails and he ridiculous retirement age! All part of the #SafeInside campaign. #68istoolate

Comes to something when the police object to the size of the prison because of the increase in violence it will create !!! Clear acknowledgement that we work in the most violent and hostile workplace in Western Europe ⁦@POAUnion⁩ https://t.co/rnVi2yBMgC

[National Chair POA @POAnatchair]

On this @ArmedForcesDay may I wish all those who have served or who currently serve all the very best. Thank you for everything you have done for our great country. Respect to all @POAUnion.

Thanks #GordonHenderson for raising this, just a shame that the #PM @theresa_may fobbed you off! Shocking treatment of Prison Officers. We deserve a right to retire at 60! #68istoolate

[Justice Unions Parliamentary Group @JusticeUnions]

Is it fair that prison officers face the prospect of having to retire at 68 while police officers and firefighters can retire at 60, asks Gordon Henderson (Conservative, Sittingbourne & Sheppey) at #PMQs - but @theresa_may dodges the question @POAnatchair @hhpoachair @POAUnion

[POA Elmley Branch @ElmleyPoa]

Fitting words from our national chairman, Mark Fairhurst. We must never ever forget this horrific disaster and we must always remember those who lost their lives and those brave men and women who were involved. Love to you all. #grenfell

[National Chair POA @POAnatchair]

On the anniversary of the horrific #Grenfell Tower fire we remember those who lost their lives. @POAUnion stand in solidarity with everyone who has been affected.

Excellent News! It’s time to get this poison out of our prisons and protect the brave staff that work in them! Solidarity!

[National Chair POA @POAnatchair]

Positive meeting at Bournemouth university with a professor who is an expert in Psychoactive substances. Hopefully we will work together to rid our jails of this threat and protect staff. @POAUnion making a difference because we care.

HMP Bristol gets an UN not because of a poor Governor or a lack of committed staff. It’s because of a lack of investment and a reluctance to act at the very top. Start listening to your staff and ⁦@POAUnion⁩ and let’s make our prisons safe/ decent. https://t.co/DPWZ6oYI20

[National Chair POA @POAnatchair]

After a violent week and weekend in our prisons during which we have had a riot and numerous staff seriously injured, now is the time for @POAUnion members to remain United and support their NEC. Use your vote in the indicative ballot. This is about your safety. Please vote!

The words "industrial relations" are apparently just words with little meaning. They are obviously there for a "tick box" exercise against this @POAUnion

[POA Elmley Branch @ElmleyPoa]

It is morally wrong for corporations to make profit out of the incarceration of someone serving a sentence. Prisons are to serve the public by keeping people in custody. Prisons are not there to line the pockets of rich! #prisonsarenotforprofit

[National Chair POA @POAnatchair]

The six approved bidders to run tax payer funded new prisons are : G4S Care and Custody Services UK Limited, Interserve Plc, Management and Training Corporation Works Limited, Mitie Care & Custody, Serco Limited, and Sodexo Limited.
Tax payer funds profiteers!
Shameful @POAUnion
