To reform #offenders, we need to be sure they are being given the right services and opportunities across the different areas we know support #rehabilitation and help prevent a return to #crime (part one)

These include improving prisoners’ #mentalhealth and tackling #substancemisuse, improving prisoners’ progress in English and maths and increasing the numbers of #offenders in employment and accommodation after release (part two)

This workshop is aimed at #youngpeople currently or previously involved in the #CJS. Attendees are encouraged to re–write their stories, setting clear and achievable #goals for the future. Additional services are offered to attendees to support them on their journey.

To achieve this, we act as a referral service for home-grown, innovative and unconventional intervention services. We specialise in transformative and meaningful interventions targeted at underrepresented groups that exist within society.
