RR3 Special Interest Group on Employment report
Opportunity for all – employment and training in prisons and the community
Today, we are publishing a report from the RR3 Special Interest Group on Employment.
This report is being published as part of the work of the Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group.
The focus of this report is on the barriers to employment faced by people, both in prison and on their release into the community and explores the following areas:
- Prison workshops
- The financial security of people in prison
- Employer and training provider engagement
- Addressing complex needs
- Service coordination.
Developed in collaboration with 28 voluntary criminal justice sector organisations, the report sets out a range of recommendations designed to upskill and prepare people in prison for their release, as well as ensuring that there is sufficient support to sustain employment in the community.
Work is now underway to engage with the relevant policy and operational officials responsible for the areas covered in the report. We will be updating on our progress in due course. In the meantime, please do contact bronte.jack@clinks.org with any questions or if your organisation wishes to discuss the report’s findings in greater detail.
