Since 2015, given the high rates of trauma amongst women in prison, women's prisons in England, UK have been striving to provide trauma-informed and responsive care. This workshop explores the findings from research examining the perspectives of people living and working in women's prisons about the barriers and enablers to trauma-informed care within a prison setting. It then highlights the range of ways that this research has been translated into practical actions within and across women's prisons, at the organisational and system level, as well the ways in which the capabilities of, and opportunities for, staff to work in trauma-informed and responsive ways have been developed. Finally, the workshop will showcase some of the innovative services and interventions that have been implemented with women in prison to improve their experiences of imprisonment.
