This year's lectures
What does leadership mean in prisons?
11 June
10am
Prisons are under scrutiny like never before and have faced much public criticism. With self-harm and violence in prisons at record highs, stubbornly high reoffending rates and a toxic mix of mental ill-health, trauma and drug misuse the challenge of trying to Change Lives within prison walls is vast.
In prisons, leadership skills are required of all staff, not just Governors or Managers.
➢ What styles of leadership are most effective in prisons?
➢ Is a different approach needed to solve the current ‘crisis’?
➢ Who sets the values and shapes a prison culture?
➢ How do staff influence those people in their care to turn their lives around?
At this year's lectures we will explore the roles leaders play, their impact on services, and models of effective leadership.
The Lectures will draw on a wide range of expert speakers, including Michael Spurr, former
Chief Executive Officer of HM Prison and Probation Service, Dr. Jamie Bennett, Governor of HMP Long Lartin, Dr Kate Gooch, Associate Professor at the University of Bath, and Dr Sarah Lewis & Stephen Robertson from HMP Guys Marsh. It promises to be a thought-provoking discussion, generating ideas about good practice.
About The Perrie Lectures
The Perrie Lectures is an annual event which has the purpose of stimulating dialogue between criminal justice organisations, the voluntary sector and all those with an academic, legal or practical interest in offenders and their families.
The Perrie Lectures are named in honour of Bill Perrie, who retired from the Prison Service in 1978. He worked as a prison governor for 32 years, latterly at HMPs Hull, Long Lartin, and Winson Green, Birmingham. A sound practitioner, Bill contributed much to the development of hostels, working out schemes, and regimes for long term prisoners. Bill attended the lectures every year until his death in 1997.
Since 1995, the Perrie Award has been presented annually during the day of the lectures. It has been given by the Perrie Lectures Committee to the person who has done most to promote an understanding of the work of the Prison Service, and pushed forward the development of penal policy.
Through the Perrie Lectures and the Perrie Award, it is hoped that the care of offenders can be improved, and penal policy, in its broadest sense, advanced.
The text of the Perrie Lectures is produced in full as a special edition of the Prison Service Journal.
