Podcasts about youth justice board

Happy New Year!!! This New Year we're kicking things of with a very special episode about the Police. This episode is with Keith Fraser, who is the Chair of the Youth Justice Board, we talk to Keith about his up brining and how he navigated being with the Police Force, well 'Police Service' as he'd like it to be called. This was a really insightful conversation where we talked about the history of the Met, what it was like being a black police officer and how important having a supportive family is.

See key points at the bottom. Dr. Jamie Bennett has worked in prisons and wider criminal justice system since 1996 and held a number of senior positions. He is currently Chief Strategy Officer at the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales. He was previously Governor of HMP Long Lartin, a high security prison; HMP Grendon, the only prison to operate entirely as a series of therapeutic communities; HMP Springhill, an innovative open prison which helps men to prepare for their release and resettle into the community, and; HMP Morton Hall, a women's prison working with a diverse international population. Jamie was editor of the Prison Service Journal for 17 years and has published over 100 articles and reviews in peer review publications covering topics including: prisons and the media, social inequality and imprisonment, and the development of managerialism. He is the author of The Working Lives of Prison Managers: Global change, local cultures and individual agency in the late modern prison (Palgrave MacMillan 2015), The Penal System: An Introduction Sixth Edition (with Paul Cavadino, James Dignan and George Mair, Sage 2019) and Prisoners on Prison Films (with Victoria Knight, Palgrave MacMillan, 2021). He has also produced four other books: Understanding Prison Staff (ed with Ben Crewe and Azrini Wahidin, Willan 2008); Dictionary of Prisons and Punishment (ed with Yvonne Jewkes, Willan 2008); The Prisoner (ed with Ben Crewe, Routledge 2011), and; Handbook on Prisons (ed with Yvonne Jewkes and Ben Crewe, Routledge, 2016). Much of his writing has been on the management of prisons and most recently on the disruption to such management by the pandemic in his paper ‘Disrupting prison managerialism: Managing prisons in an age of pandemic'   Key points from the conversation; 1. The process of managerialism in the prison system can be dehumanizing and lead to a focus on meeting targets rather than caring for people. 2. There had been a shift in the culture of management, with a greater emphasis on targets and less commitment to broader corporate approaches. 3. The disruption caused by the pandemic led to a recalibration of the relationship between national and local levels of management, giving managers more discretion in implementing guidance. 4. The pandemic also led to a reinvigoration of a sense of place and community, with managers focusing more on the needs of their local community. 5. The experience of managers may have differed from that of ground floor staff, who sometimes felt ignored by top-level management. 6. The prison system experienced a shift from performance targets to change management in order to achieve reductions in resources. 7. There are ongoing changes in the prison system to give more choice and discretion to high-performing managers and to push strategic decision-making to a more local level.

This episode is a recording of the online conference and webinar on the topic Well Being that was held on 29th June 2021.  The event and this recording contains presentations and talks from national leaders in the field of mental health, well being, trauma informed practice and psychology including Professor Barry Carpenter CBE OBE FCCT, Dr Tina Rae, Sharon Gray OBE and Laura Purser, as well as 5 school based practitioners and leaders from a wide range of settings and contexts. Professor Carpenter writes... "The pandemic period has witnessed a rapid erosion in the mental health of children. National figures are worrying, but as ever, as Teachers, we must ask ‘how does this affect children's learning, and how can we remove barriers to achievement generated by issues such as anxiety, trauma and loss?”    Two major Curriculum initiatives from this September will enhance the foundations created, pre pandemic, of Mental Health Leads in school, Mental Heath First Aid Training, etc: Firstly, for all children, the new DfE Relationships, Health and Sex Education (RHSE) Curriculum becomes statutory. With its clear focus on Mental Well Being and Relationships, these are perfect platforms for rebuilding each school's curriculum on meaningful human values, with RSHE at its heart, … for teaching is a relationship based profession. Secondly, for children with SEND, the implementation of the Rochford Review recommendations, not only brings the Engagement Model into play as statutory summative assessment, but sees a renewed emphasis on the 4 domains of SEND in the Code of Practice (2015) as the curriculum framework for children with an EHCP. As such Social, Emotional and Mental Health, (SEMH), is a vital platform for designing learning opportunities for children with EHCPs. Evidence for Learning has a strong history of facilitating curriculum development, pedagogy, assessment and practice in the area of Mental Well Being (MWB) through a variety of strategies."   Alongside Prof. Barry Carpenter, presenters included national leaders and experts in the field – Dr Tina Rae, Sharon Gray OBE, and Laura Purser – together with school based practitioners – Alison Wheeler, Alex Tomkins, Jeanette Scull, Jonah Stancombe and Tom Thatcher – for a rich and comprehensive collection of presentations and sharing of knowledge, ideas and practice that you are invited to take back to your own schools for your own discussions, planning and CPLD.   GUESTS/SPEAKERS/PANELLISTS: Prof. Barry Carpenter CBE OBE FCCT (Prof. Mental Health in Education, Oxford Brookes University)  Dr Tina Rae (Child Psychologist. Prolific & award winning author) Sharon Gray OBE (Former-Headteacher. Former-Ofsted Inspector. Member of the Youth Justice Board, Wholehearted Learning) Laura Purser (Head of Primary, Prep & EYFS at University of Buckingham. Designs/leads master's level NASENCO course.) Alison Wheeler (Headteacher, Palmerston School) Alex Tomkins (Deputy Headteacher, Greenside School) Jeanette Scull (Deputy Headteacher, John F Kennedy School) Jonah Stancombe (Assistant Principal, Bridge College) Tom Thatcher (PSHE Lead, St Hugh's Special School)   This episode is packed full of valuable ideas and insights, with colleagues sharing knowledge, ideas and practice that you are invited to take back to your own schools for your own discussions, planning and CPLD.   You can watch and listen to a video slide show of the presentation on the episode webpage: https://www.evidenceforlearning.net/learningshared/episode-24-well-being-conference On the episode page, we've also listed links to resources and videos that you might find useful and interesting for further reading.   --------------------------------------------------- We've created private groups in Facebook and Linkedin where colleagues and peers can discuss and share thoughts, ideas, experiences, resources and learning in relation to supporting the needs of vulnerable learners and learners with SEND.    EfL SEND Community Group  Join us at:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/eflSENDCommunity/  or search for “eflSENDCommunity” in Facebook.    The purpose of this group is to provide a safe, closed space to seek out and share ideas, experience and resources that can help with any and all aspects of SEND provision.

In this weeks podcast I interview my ex-colleague from the West Midlands Police, Keith Fraser. Keith tells the fascinating story of how he joined the Metropolitan Police in 1985. This was very unusual for a young black man from Birmingham in those days. He worked there for 20 years before transferring to the West Midlands Police where he retired as a Superintendent. Keith is now the Chair of the Youth Justice board for England and Wales and one of the authors of the recent report from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, commissioned by Boris Johnson to investigate race and ethnic disparities in the UK.

This is an interview I did with Tony Bleetman. It follows on nicely from the one that I did with Eric Baskind the other day and adds a professional medical perspective on a lot of restraint related issues. Some of the main points are time stamped below: 00:23 - Inspectorate issues with the Youth Justice Board over certain physical restraint techniques (similar to the recent CQC issues raised with Eric Baskind); 01:45 - The basic principles of how to assist an organisation to understand what the challenges are in managing behaviour even before we get to the physical skills required; 03:26 - Providing the skills relevant to the needs of the organisation; 04:18 - The use of pain-compliance techniques and 'blanket-bans' on techniques not being helpful; 05:15 - Tony's introduction to the late great Peter Boatman and the challenge given and what it taught him; 07:29 - Tony's introduction to other industry sectors; 08:52 - The importance of working with the co-operation of staff and management to address the skills needed and how the system can evolve over time; 09:53 - Why having a rigid and inflexible set of physical skills don't work; 11:26 - The 'open book' approach to helping organisations get what they need; 13:42 - The economic benefits to the organisation in the cost savings and how we saved one organisation 1/2 a million pounds in six months and the other savings in terms of litigation etc; 15:34 - Why are some techniques being taught that shouldn't be taught?; 20:38 - A funny story about a 'shin-kick and a fire extinguisher'; 22:53 - The important point about staff being allowed to use reasonable force if and when presented with a situation they couldn't have planned for; 24:53 - Dealing with issues that hadn't be dealt with properly before such as, nasogastric feeding and ligature removal; 26:42 - The George Floyd case and the 'breathing talking fallacy' (as in the Jimmy Mubenga case) and some important facts on positional asphyxia; 32:58 - The three mechanisms of death from pressure to the neck; 34:29 - The belief that when door supervisors (for example) restrain someone on the floor they must hold the restrained person there until the police arrive.
