COO, Unlocked Graduates

Joined June 2012
New Scandinavian wings at Wandsworth and Pentonville jails have seen a 45% drop in assaults, 57% fall in self harm, 62% reduction in disorder and a halving of staff sickness rates - fascinating results from new trial of a more rehabilitative approach to prison.

Fascinating thread on the @unlockedgrads fiasco that could still be avoided if the new Labour government steps in to correct the mistakes of the last Conservative one
A story, on the back of this tweet. It’s about why Natasha is a star, I’m an idiot, and why government procurement and lawyers are even more so

Not good - an impending MoJ own goal that needs a switched-on minister to deflect . . .
This is such a dreadfully sad time for @unlockedgrads. I am really hoping that the government can work with us to find a solution so we don't lose this incredible initiative from prisons across England and Wales. unlockedgrads.org.uk/news-it…

What this organisation does is exceptional and inspiring. Surely there is a way through this. @NPorter_ @unlockedgrads

I have been hugely impressed by the quality, dedication and enthusiasm of @unlockedgrads working in some of our most challenging prisons. Really sorry to hear the scheme, in future will not go ahead, at a time when the recruitment of high-quality officers is so important.

This is a very good example of something I discuss in chapter three of "Failed State". Procurement systems designed for massive corporates like Capita and Serco being applied to small charities creates constant fiascos.

Working in prisons doesn’t often get a high profile. What Natasha, her team and every person trained via Unlocked have done to combat that is extraordinary & I truly hope there’s a way to keep it going. If you know anyone who might help make the case, do contact @NPorter_
