Supporting Offenders

There has been growing recognition within the Prison and Probation Services of the importance of the voluntary sector and community organisations and the range of services they can provide for offenders, ex-offenders and their families.

Voluntary organisations and community groups bring valuable local knowledge, expertise, specialist skills and a fresh and innovative approach to working with offenders. This work not only benefits the offender and his or her family, but also the prison and probation services and our communities and society as a whole.

These resources are provided by the Supporting Work with Offenders Project, based at NAVCA and supported by Clinks. The Project is designed to offer local support and development organisations the information and resources required to enable them to effectively support frontline organisations who work with offenders, ex-offenders and their families.
