HMP and YOI Stoke Heath is a closed Category C adult male and young offender institution, with a small Category D unit located in Shropshire.
We deliver psychosocial substance use service services at this prison at HMP Stoke Heath.
Our services include:
At HMP Stoke Heath, we take pride in our Health and Wellbeing Champion (HAWC) scheme, through which prison residents are trained to support the healthcare team and their peers with health-related concerns.
Unlike other sites, our HAWCs work across the entire healthcare provision, not just in substance use. They have become embedded across the establishment and the success of the scheme has been recognised by the prison’s senior management team and external parties, including the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Our Substance Use Team is part of an integrated healthcare service, working with our partners Shropshire Community Health Trust (prime provider) and Midlands Partnerships Foundation Trust (MPFT).
Any prisoner can refer themselves (‘self-refer’) to the service through their in-cell laptops. If a staff member or third party makes a referral, we will assess the service user if they agree to engage. All prisoners are seen as part of their induction.
