When we develop new areas of work or make changes to our methodology we open these out to consultation and invite responses from our stakeholders. You can find details of our current consultations below.
Family and friends of people in prison
We want to find out how families and friends can make a difference to the experiences of people in prison. A team of inspectors is visiting a range of prisons to find out more about this. The team will speak to people in each prison and the family and friends who come to visit them.
If you have a family member or friend in prison, we would like to find out:
- what the prison does to support your relationship with the person in prison
- what your visits at the prison have been like
- if you have used any family support, or had any involvement in family interventions.
If you would like to tell us about your experiences, please email us at hmiprisons.enquiries@hmiprisons.gov.uk
