Novus’ Sarah Hartley joins Andrea Hadley-Johnson from the National Justice Museum and Hollie Smith-Charles from Arts Council England to discuss how creativity can enrich the livers of prisoners and offer an access point to learning.

    In the current labour market, recruitment is difficult. Vacancies have started to drop after the post-pandemic job boom, but employers are still struggling to hire.

The justice sector is one of the worst affected areas, with the leaving rate of prison officers reaching a new all-time high of 15.3% earlier this year. What can be done to make working in prisons a more visible and attractive career path? Natasha Porter, founder and CEO of Unlocked Graduates, and Novus’ director of operations Annick Platt join host Steve Exley to discuss the challenges ahead – and what can be done to overcome them.
