#WeApplaud campaign

On behalf of our members and the global corrections community we would like to give our thanks and appreciation to the frontline officers, healthcare workers and to all staff members who risk their health on a daily basis to care for persons under their supervision and in keeping our societies safer.

Those who are fortunate enough to be able to maintain self-isolation during this difficult time understand that your commitment in performing these duties under such conditions deserves to be recognised.

Prisons and correctional staff worldwide are the unsung heroes of maintaining this essential public service which protects us all.
