Dr Lauren Smith and Rachael Mason, along with Roger Bretherton and Karen Harrison have had an external report published online (11th March). The report is entitled Review of the Spark Inside Coaching Programme for Prison Staff. The news article and access to the report can be found here.
The team also took part in a knowledge exchange event about the evaluation findings with Spark Inside, HM Prison and Probation Service, and the Ministry of Justice. It is hoped the work will lead to further evaluation work of other Spark Inside programmes and to increased funding and opportunity for Spark Inside within prisons.
