This lady started her permanent position as Branch Manager with us this week… whilst still on ROTL. It’s a HUGE achievement for her which she has worked hard for. Thank you to all in the reducing reoffending team @HMPDownview for helping this go so smoothly for her (and me!)

As much as the girls love a visit from @darrenburns60 he wasn’t the most popular one in the room this time…Prob something to do with him arriving with our chairman, Sir John Timpson. Tea, biscuits and inspiring stories make for a fab day in work! @JamesTCobbler @HMPDownview

I’ve done some work with the fantastic @lizeeebee this week. Liz is the only reason I was able to arrange employment on release for a lady I worked with who was transferred to another prison. I’d have lost her in the system without Liz’s help.

TACT cases remain on an exceptional basis.
Foreign Nationals must be a very low risk of abscond.
The question about public confidence (the third limb) has been removed.
Please RT so everyone in the CJS is aware.

Our latest ROTL colleague got treats from a happy customer today, it’s only been 5 days but it looks like she’s settling in pretty well!
