Going Inside - prison chaplains

Woodbrooke and Quakers in Britain, Quaker Prison Chaplains’ Committee working in Partnership.

This course covers practical issues about working in the prison environment and building trust with staff and inmates within clear boundaries.

It will also encourage you to reflect on the Quaker basis of your ministry within a multi-faith team and to deepen your understanding of the role.


Open to all Quaker Prison Chaplains, both recently-nominated and those with experience. The course will be led by two experienced serving chaplains and will combine live Zoom sessions with individual study and reflection to inform your practice.

There will be about 2 hours of individual tasks and reflection in preparation before each live session so there be some material to look at prior to the first session. We will email you around one week prior to the course with information about accessing the course, including this material, on our online learning platform (Moodle).

The live sessions will not be recorded so you need to join all sessions to get the full benefit from the course.
