Attending the Women’sJustice Blueprint conference today . Fantastic speakers committed to working and collaborating as a partnership across Wales to ensure women are supported at all stages of the criminal justice system HMPPS in Wales / HMPPS yng Nghymru VHarris @HMPPSCymru_ED

Attended an excellent event in Cardiff to celebrate the Women’s Justice Blueprint. I really enjoyed hearing about how working in partnership can have such a positive impact on women within/ at risk of entering the Criminal Justice System.

I loved all 3 roles, learnt loads, made great connections & having left, now have the best job in the Civil Service (IMHO). So my advice is…apply!

The highlight of this week has been the SEEDS2 training on Reflective Leadership. I’m really looking forward to seeing the impact of the SEEDS2 approach across Wales.
