    Date published: 24 September 2025

    Hidden Heroes Day, held annually, is an opportunity to recognise and thank the staff in our prisons, probation and our youth justice services for their essential work.

    The men and women working in our prisons, probation and youth justice are true Hidden Heroes. They are critical public servants doing difficult, demanding, and sometimes dangerous jobs, on behalf of the people in their care and the public they serve.
