Prison Drug Policy Symposium

Events

Prison Drug Policy Symposium

11 April 2017
Volteface

This is the first of a series of events in our collaboration with Rob Ralphs and Rebecca Askew of the Substance Use and Addictive Behaviours Group following their Fellowship Grant from Metropolis. The event is also in collaboration with the brilliant service user involvement charity, User Voice.

Rising rates of drug use, suicides, violence and self-harm have gained increasing media attention over the last year. Growing problems associated with the sale and use of novel psychoactive substances have been highlighted by the HM Inspectorate of Prisons, Prisons & Probation Ombudsman and the Ministry of Justice as a major challenge facing the prison estate.
