We have introduced temporary emergency video calling in recognition of the importance of maintaining family contact while social visits have been temporarily suspended in prisons in England and Wales. We have published information regarding the provision of video calls on GOV.UK and made clear we will continue to expand secure video calling to more establishments during this time. Details of which prisons are operating live services for families and friends can be accessed via the following link;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/visit-a-prisoner-using-a-video-call" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/visit-a-prisoner-using-a-video-call</a> At the appropriate time, we will consider future options for video calling beyond Covid-19 restrictions.
