Overview
The Young Adult (YA) Project at HMP Bronzefield is a pilot project recognised for addressing increased self-harm and violence among 18-25-year-old women in custody. It is a partnership between CNWL, Sodexo and the Women\'s Estate Psychology Service, shaped by trauma-informed principles and the importance of relational security and co-production. The clinical model adopts a holistic approach to assessment and care planning, with scope for ongoing development and flexibility in service provision.
