I have known Andy Johnston for nearly two decades, initially as my Clinical Director he demonstrated clear-sighted vision and was instrumental in how secure services as a whole could function most effectively and safely with the accessible scaffolding support from senior management. Since this period, I have worked with Andy Johnston in a variety of independent inquiries involving NHS Mental Health Trusts and in developing an international
training programme in relational practice to support health and prison services to provide effective and safe custodial and rehabilitative services. Andy Johnston is a thoughtful, relationally accessible and able professional with a high degree of integrity. Over the course of my working relationship with him, he has displayed a consistent and high-quality understanding of complex organisational disturbance and how best to facilitate inclusivity in working-through such processes. It remains a pleasure and privilege to work with Andy Johnston.
