"Just get on with it” A qualitative exploration of the health and wellbeing of prison operational managers and Governor grades.
In 2021, a multi-disciplinary team from the University of Lincoln were commissioned by the Prison Governors Association to investigate their members’ health and wellbeing, with this being particularly pertinent following the immense pressure experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on semi-structured interviews with 63 prison operational managers and Governor grades, this video discusses our findings. Key themes of our research include not feeling valued, impact on mental and physical health, frustration over lack of autonomy and fears for the future; all of which have led some to follow a ‘path of disenchantment’.
