             Grateful for your support as always @saffysaffron. Visibility of the context and cultural dynamics these women face is very important, if they are to receive timely and appropriate support. Yasmin was incredibly powerful and forthright in her delivery, very proud of her.

             We screened the Inside Out- MWIP film @LeedsTrinity as part of @unlockedgrads training programme for Prison Officers on Bank Holiday Monday. The discussions on cultural competence and awareness prompted deep reflection and there was a real sense of curiosity and learning.
