Congratulations to our Integrated Support Unit at HMP Durham, who will be presented with a Certificate of Excellence at the Ruth Cranfield Awards in September.
The team was nominated by team manager, Hayley Hawksby, for always prioritising their patients, being caring, respectful and compassionate. They have continued to go above and beyond for the patients on the unit, including supporting a patient with their release plan from custody into the community, despite the challenges of Covid-19.
Hayley said: “They have been dynamic, resilient and continued to ensure that patient care is not compromised despite the challenges they have faced. Working in a custody setting is challenging but also very rewarding and the staff have continued to go above and beyond to support the patients on the unit”.
Nepacs (North East Prison After Care Society) is a north east charity that promotes a positive future for prisoners, offenders and their relatives. The charity holds an annual awards ceremony to recognise the contribution professionals make to reduce crime in the region and help offenders turn their lives around.
