- Michele Louden (Head of Immigration Prison Teams, Home Office)

- Lucy Peates (FNO and Drug Strategy Lead, HMP Wales)

This event recording is relevant to all colleagues in the Criminal Justice System managing foreign nationals in custody, both FNO speciality prisons and prisons with lower FNO populations, including:

- Keyworkers

- Prison Offender Managers

- Diversity & Inclusion Leads

The event:

- Explains how the hub is designed to support staff with responsibility for supporting and managing FNOs across all prisons, and that the support is often most needed where there are very few FNOs and therefore sometimes less local knowledge and skills

- Shares areas of good practice and:

- Looks at upcoming FNO-specific research and resources
