Summary
The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) is committed to becoming a trauma informed organisation. As part of this, the service has asked all senior leaders to attend Trauma Informed Leadership training. A Trauma Informed steering group also meets to develop several projects across the estate.
Within this national approach, HMP Edinburgh started working towards becoming a trauma informed prison in October 2021. A multi-agency steering group formed, co-chaired by the Governor and NHS Consultant Clinical Psychologist. The group includes representatives from SPS, the local health board, local authority and third sector colleagues. External partners also attend as critical friends.
