How can we effectively balance prison and secure establishment approaches to safety and security, with the delivery of other services and initiatives in prisons?

We want to provide decent, safe and secure accommodation that supports individuals in their rehabilitation. We want to reduce levels of violence and self-harm and develop the evidence on what structures and interventions can help improve outcomes for individuals in prison.
Next steps
We can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.
