Supporting information
Calico Enterprise is committed to working with the most socially excluded offenders who pose the highest risk of re-offending. In Lancashire, Cumbria & Bury we understand local needs and have a range of effective partnerships to tackle those criminogenic factors that impact on reoffending.
Through our RSL partner we can develop housing provision, including private sector leasing to assist in the resettlement of offenders leaving prison and those in accommodation need.
We can offer effective supervision for short sentence prisoners using our through the gate model, developed via a multi-agency partnership and utilising ex offender and community volunteers providing peer support.
We offer employability work and employment opportunities for offenders via our apprenticeship programmes and our social enterprises.
Calico Enterprise is prepared to consider sharing PBR risk with prime providers as we are confident that we can reduce reoffending rates for those we work with.
