LEADCOR project aims to reduce occupational stress through leadership development in the prison context. The project aims to enhance the leadership competences of staff, aiming to promote a safe and prejudice-free learning environment for these diverse and vulnerable group of learners. Furthermore, it seeks to contribute to mitigate tensions among management and staff, between staff, among staff and their families, and between staff and inmates (through stress reduction). This may also enable considerable savings in personnel budgets by reducing early retirements and absenteeism, while improving the quality of work with inmates and, ultimately, enhancing opportunities for rehabilitation.
