Progress update for Inspectorate report: Mothers and Babies: Prison management of pregnant women and mothers of infants
In September 2023, the Inspectorate released the thematic report, Mothers and Babies: Prison management of pregnant women and mothers of infants.
This report was conducted to review the operating environment in the Mothers with Babies units in all three women’s prisons, and to examine the management of pregnant women in prison, those in prison with a child in the community, and opportunities for mothers with children in the community to maintain supportive parental relationships.
The first progress update from Corrections is below.
