The intern will work with the FAI taskforce team and research colleagues, and will focus on: 
• Mapping current SPS policies and practices regarding personal items in use, with particular attention to recent changes and their operational impact. 
• Gathering staff perspectives especially from governors and frontline staff on the challenges, opportunities, and practicalities of implementing these policies. Noting that existing young people user voice work has already been completed and will contribute to the outputs of the project.  
• Conducting a comparative review of models and approaches from other jurisdictions and countries, identifying best practice and lessons learned. 
• Synthesising findings to develop clear, actionable recommendations for SPS 
 
It is likely that the project will be broken down into: month 1: desk research and scoping, month 2: fieldwork, month 3: analysis and reporting, and will deliver:  
• Report: Summarising findings, best practice, risks, and recommendations for SPS policy and practice.  
• Policy Brief: 2–4 pages, with clear recommendations for balancing safety and wellbeing.  
• Presentation: For SPS FAI Taskforce and stakeholders, highlighting key findings and actionable steps.
