[James Timpson @JamesTCobbler]

Alcohol-fuelled crime causes untold misery to victims and communities and we need to stamp it out.
As this @DailyMirror piece shows, our tags are helping us to do exactly that. Our tech monitors offenders' drinking round the clock to ensure they stay sober and out of trouble.

We’re piloting tough community sentences with mandatory drug or alcohol treatment under the supervision of a judge.

If we can get offenders with addiction issues back on the straight and narrow, we can stop them reoffending and end their cycle of crime.

It's Brew Monday! ☕✨ Today is about so much more than the actual brew itself. We’re not just obsessed with tea, we promise!

It's all about the moments that happen around the brew, and the small but mighty power that asking ‘shall we have a cuppa and chat?’ can have. 🧵

[Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealth]

It's a Monday like any other...

It might be a good day for your mental health, a tough day - or somewhere in between.

However you're feeling today, remember you and your mental health matter, every day of the year. 💜
