<p>Chaplains of all faiths and belief systems play a central role in supporting prisoners
during the pandemic. They have continued to visit prisoners on a one-to-one basis
providing pastoral care, spiritual support and resources for worship. Chaplains see
new receptions, visit those in segregation and speak to men and women prior to release.
They have also continued to provide one-to-one support including compassionate contact
with families.</p><p>The hard work and dedication of chaplains was recently reflected
in the Butler Trust Awards and is widely acknowledged in the annual reports of Independent
Monitoring Boards from across the custodial estate and by HM Inspectorate of Prisons.</p>
