Workshop Session
The underpinning principles of Home, Health and Homeliness promotes communal responsibility and identifies individual needs, creating individualised resettlement programs where families are supported and self agency encouraged. Prisoner engagement is achieved by our compact with prisoners to take ownership through our 'no decisions about me without me' procedures. Resettlement Services provided by a diverse mix of community organisations (including those with 'lived experience') as a central part of the multi-disciplinary teams. Extensive use of Release on Temporary Licence supports education, work and employment provision for those who meet the criteria. Education links directly with employers criterion and employers provide training workshops within the prison. Staff skills and training developed to create competence and confidence with new environment and requirements. An 'offence neutral' regime is operated where sex offenders are able to achieve their resettlement goals alongside others. A Non-Executive Board of external experts (including those with 'lived experience') provides additional scrutiny and oversight to the Director on a regular basis.
