| Awards for Excellence Dr Zainab Al-Attar
Dr Zainab Al-Attar is a forensic psychologist teaching at the University of Central Lancashire, whose eight years of research at Oxford University won her an award in 2003. The majority of her prison, probation, police and psychiatric hospital work over seven years has driven public protection through the assessment, management and treatment of offenders who pose a risk to the public, especially children. In 2004, HM Prison Service granted her an award in recognition of her ‘great depth of care and compassion towards young prisoners’. Dr Al-Attar has taken a lead role in improving procedures to prevent bullying and self-harm within prisons. On a voluntary basis, she has run therapy groups for children with challenging behaviour, as well as adults with severe mental illness. |
