Thanks for your post Donna and certainly will refer to this under our *Agenda item regarding PBs as an evidence based programme. Also saw in our national news today reference to how unsafe people who have committed sex offences feel in prison which reminded me of how Penny & Tim have used PBs with people who offend. At the prison in the article it was stated that:
"Almost a fifth of prisoners feel unsafe and there are high levels of victimisation and bullying.
Perhaps most concerning is the fact that, although one in three prisoners at Moorland has been convicted of a sexual offence, the prison failed to offer a single course designed to tackle that behaviour."
Will keep you posted as to how far we get with things at the meeting on 7th June and thanks again for your input.
