Pre-release
Length: 1 day
Our single day programme helps customers prepare for release by giving them an understanding of community based support they can receive, where and how they can get this support and how it can help them become a full member of society. The programme is highly flexible and can be delivered in a group workshop setting, one-to-one or a mixture of both. It can also be run in conjunction with our community programmes as part of a through the gate service. The day covers:
Details of support agencies for:
• Securing stable accommodation.
• Health and wellbeing;
• Moving towards and into sustainable employment.
Practical advice such as:
• How to register with a GP/dentist;
• How to open a bank account;
• Obtaining the correct documentation for housing and employment.
Employability advice:
• The current labour market;
• What employers are looking for;
• How to secure employment including networking, job search, CVs and interviews;
• Making a positive disclosure;
• Risk and safeguarding.
The day will be informal and will include video clips where agencies can introduce their services. These will also include testimonials from ex-offenders who talk through how their circumstances have been improved with the right support.
