Wellbeing
Staff working in prisons, probation and the wider criminal justice system operate in high-pressure, emotionally demanding and often high-risk environments. Their wellbeing is critical, not only for their own health and safety, but also for the effectiveness, integrity and sustainability of the system as a whole. As one of the four principles of HMPPS business strategy, enabling people to be their best includes a variety of approaches that promote reflection, reconnection and organisational support that are reflected through a selection of events for this category.
Positive Culture
Across public service, particularly in the criminal justice system, a positive organisational culture is essential for safe, effective and ethical service delivery. Culture shapes how staff interact with each other, with service users and with the public, influencing every aspect of performance and outcomes. Building and maintaining a positive culture is at the heart of all our business strategies and priorities from the prevention of bullying and discrimination to maintaining professional standards. The variety of events within this category demonstrate the varied dimensions of positive culture and showcases some examples of good practice.
Effective Leadership
Effective leadership is the cornerstone of a safe, fair and high-performing criminal justice system. It aligns people and resources with the mission, inspires professionalism and ensures that justice is delivered with integrity and impact. Leadership can be harnessed at any level through modelling professional values and behaviours, setting the tone for respect, accountability and fairness and these events are aimed at developing insight and building skills in this dynamic area.
Professional development
Creating an open learning culture is at the heart of HMPPS business. It’s focus is on maintaining a skilled, adaptable workforce capable of meeting complex and changing service demands. Continuous learning and growth directly affects service quality, safety and rehabilitative outcomes whilst also embedding a culture of investment in people. These events cover a diverse area, from skills development to awareness raising.
