Similar work is being done at a national level looking across all prisons.</p><p>Too many people self-harm in prisons and we are taking action to stop it. We are investing £100 million in security measures to tackle the drugs, weapons and mobile phones that fuel violence and self-harm behind bars – this is on top of the £70 million we have already spent improving safety and conditions. We have recruited more than 4,300 new prison officers and introduced the keyworker model - so every inmate can have a dedicated officer for support.</p><p>We’ve also given the Samaritans £1.5 million over three years, trained more than 24,000 staff in mental health awareness, and improved support for anyone at risk of suicide or self-harm.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 22/10/2019 16:40:08 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
