PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jacqui Learoyd is a speech and language therapist with experience of working with adults in secure hospitals and prisons. Jacqui works across all ages from 18 to end of life, trying to support the communication needs of this marginalised group at all stages of their criminal justice journey. She has specific interests in de-escalating tense situations via communication, supporting competence in social communication and helping everyone to understand that just because a person can talk, it doesn’t mean that they are skilled in understanding and expression. Karen Bryan is a professor and Vice-Chancellor at York St John University. She previously worked as a consultant speech and language therapist in a high-secure setting for 15 years. Her research interests are in communication difficulties in young offenders and in forensic populations, as well as the impact of communication difficulties on access to health care.
"'Working with Adults in the Criminal Justice System fills a significant gap in the market, and will be of interest to anyone working in the criminal justice system, and anyone seeking to learn more about communication needs and how they may be supported. Although the background information on the justice system itself is focused on the UK, the information about how communication needs may present, the role of a speech and language therapist in meeting those needs, and various intervention frameworks and strategies are of relevance and value across other jurisdictions. Similarly, much of the information is just as relevant to those working with young people in the justice system as those working with adults. The case examples bring the information to life, and the photocopiable resources will undoubtedly save everyone a lot of time!' –Mary Woodward, Senior Speech Pathologist with extensive experience in the English and Australian criminal justice systems 'This book is incredible. I’ve used it for a narrative intervention with a young man, it is an SLT bible as far as I’m concerned.’ –Christian Boakye, Highly Specialist SLT working in London Prisons ""This book should be recommended reading for anyone who would like to understand why communication impairment is a huge issue within the criminal justice system, including politicians and policy makers. The book explains how communication difficulties and needs link to mental health and learning disability. Indeed, it seems to be vital that every professional working in the UK criminal justice sector reads this book so that vulnerable people in the system are understood, are appropriately referred to a specialist speech and language therapy service, and are offered intervention to prevent adverse life outcomes. I offer my recommendation that this book may be the mainstay text that the world of criminal justice has been waiting for."" - Lord Bradley, Member of the House of Lords and Vice Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group that considers Speech and Language Difficulties"
