Mr. Don Culliton:

Compassion is always considered and, as the director general has said, we have a range of measures in place to support staff who are the subject of these complaints. The complainants have available to them staff support officers. At prison level we have a range of measures under our own employee assistance programme. In addition, where staff are in extreme difficulty, we have engaged the external service of Inspire Workplaces solutions, which provides psychological therapy for individuals who require that type of intervention.
