A.Stringer<p>Amongst my many roles within the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CJS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CJS</span></a> was that of NVQ assessor. I found that Supervisors who taught skills such as carpentry, gardening etc within the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UPW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UPW</span></a> environment were more likely to get compliant <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/offenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>offenders</span></a> than those who didn't.

Bc, in my 15 year career, the only consistent period when I wasn't overworked to breaking point was during my qualification training.
