Dr Sinéad Meade, Lecturer in Applied Psychology at IADT, was part of the team at Atlantic Technological University Sligo that co-designed and co-delivered the first and national award-winning Higher Certificate in Arts in Custodial Care to over 1,000 recruit prison officers in the Irish Prison Service. Dr Meade's interactions with prison officers on this programme inspired the focus of her subsequent PhD research at Queen's University Belfast, entitled "You have to be fluid". Prison Officer Types, Perceived Quality of Staff-prisoner Relationships, and Staff Burnout in the Irish Prison Service.
