Ms Caron McCaffrey:

Much of the college's time is spent training new recruits. We recently introduced continuous professional development for our staff. We see this as a really positive move. All of our staff now receive training in areas like control and restraint, which was referred to by the Deputy, on an annual basis. They also receive training in areas like mental health awareness and resilience to ensure they are looking after themselves in this very difficult and challenging climate. That training is delivered in-house by our own prison staff who have worked in the organisation and understand it.
