The Sit Down: We Believe That People Can Change | Chief Probation Officer Sonia Flynn

Usually on The Sit Down, we speak to someone who has been inside themselves or is close to someone who has. This episode is a little bit different, as we sit down with the outgoing Chief Probation Officer Sonia Flynn. The CPO is responsible for 18,000 probation workers across England and Wales – a role that Sonia has held since 2017. Here she reflects on her time on the role, answers questions about recall and MAPPA and tells us what she thinks needs to change.This podcast is also available as a video – just search Life After Prison on YouTube.Useful organisations:NACROUnlockClinks DirectoryAdvanceWomen In PrisonContact us:If anything you’ve heard in this podcast has inspired you to make a positive change in your life, or you’d just like to get in touch, please contact us.💬 DM us: @afterprisonpod on Instagram and Twitter📧 Email us: [email protected]✉️ Write to us: Life After Prison, National Prison Radio, HMP Brixton, London SW2 5XF🖥️ Website: https://lifeafterprisonpod.com/ Hosted on Acast.
