Really enjoyed hosting the Public Protection quiz at the Development Day, some challenging questions, to which I must admit I didn't know the answer so looking forward to seeing the answer sheet! Every day provides an opportunity to learn something new 😉

Pleased to be able to attend our Regional Public Protection Team Development day this morning. Nice for a dispersed team to have the chance to get together FtF. Fascinating input on prison based '5 truths & one lie', sure the afternoon will be equally engaging.

The 'Yoga at your desk' session at @SWProbationCIOS Development Day is looking particularly popular and engaging. Great to see some simple, practical suggestions for improving wellbeing in the workplace. Although getting away from the desk regularly is also important 🧘♀️🧘♂️
