Supporting Health and Justice Staff in the Criminal Justice System: what is needed and what can be provided?

A webinar hosted by PORSCH network & Rotherham, Doncaster & South Humber NHS Trust.

The ability of the prison system in particular to limit the incidence of and mortality from Covid-19 has been widely welcomed. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that this has placed additional strain not only on inmates but on health and justice staff providing services.

This webinar will:

1. Identify the health and wellbeing needs of health and justice staff in facing the challenges of service provision for offenders both in general and during the Covid-19 pandemic
2. Consider a range of support services for staff in meeting these needs

This webinar will be of particular interest to health and justice staff in prisons, probation services and other secure settings and to others researching and developing responses to the pandemic. The organisers intend a follow-up workshop to apply findings in specific settings.
