Join ClinksThe InsideOut Resettlement Scheme supports serving and ex-offenders to access volunteering opportunities, training, apprenticeships and sustainable employment. Working in partnership with prisons including HMP Brixton, HMP Wormwood Scrubs, and agencies including Job Centre Plus, we offer advice and support to enable serving and ex-offenders to make a positive transition on release from custody via placements in the voluntary and community sector, and on into employment. We support first time and repeat offenders with a wide range of offences from the relatively minor to those of a serious nature. We do not work with anybody convicted of a sex or arson offence. We have access to a diverse range of developmental opportunities in areas including administration, advice, catering, DIY, driving, education, marketing, retail, sports and training. We also provide tailored support to address issues that may impact successful resettlement including welfare, substance abuse, debt, and disability.

Supporting information
The scheme has been cited as a programme “demonstrating a clear rehabilitative effect” by Baroness Neuberger in her review ‘Volunteering across the criminal justice system’ in 2009. The scheme received funding from the Cabinet Office’s GoldStar initiative in 2009 and was subsequently recognised as an exemplar of good practice at the programme’s conclusion (‘Inspiring Volunteers’ publication). Over the past 18 months, we delivered the JCP Flexible Support Fund, engaging 100 additional ex-offenders in volunteering placements, achieving a 32% sustainable employment outcome, with the remaining participants continuing in volunteering, training and further education. We have a track record of producing through-the-gate sustainable employment outcomes for offenders, and offering a holistic approach to each individuals resettlement - by addressing contributing factors that may affect a successful outcome, and by maintaining a close 1:1 realtionship throughout each participants involvement.
