Medway STC video to feature at CNWL's annual meeting

A video showing people the work of CNWL's Sexual Behaviour Service provided by the Health and Wellbeing Team at Medway Secure Training Centre will be broadcast during CNWL's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday 7 September 2016.

The service works with young people in custody who are either:

- Serving sentences for perpetrating sexual offences

- Survivors of sexual abuse

- Currently showing problematic sexual behaviour.

It provides a wide range of psychological therapies and expertise in assessment for these young people who are finding life difficult, or who are struggling to cope with their feelings.

The service is part of the Trust's expanding portfolio of offender care services for which it has a growing reputation. The Trust also provides child and adolescent mental health services at YOI Cookham Wood.

The AGM will be held at 30 Euston Square, London NW1 2FB.

All staff and members of the public are invited to attend to hear about all CNWL's services, both community and mental health.

There will be plenty of time to put questions to the Board of Directors and Governors about our performance and plans.

Chief executive Claire Murdoch said: "AGMs are when we - the Directors - account for all we do; how we spent £450 million and the outcomes for the 300,000 people we have seen. This is also an occasion when the staff have their work acknowledged by the local community; budgets often dominate the headlines, but we need to remember that the staff are the most called upon, and most valuable, of all the resource of our NHS."

Registration opens at 4.30pm (teas and coffee available), the meeting opens at 5pm and will conclude around 7pm and will be followed by light refreshments.
